Do you live in Singapore and want to learn about overseas property markets and new upcoming projects? Then you should consider attending a local property exhibition.
Visiting property exhibitions is the preferred choice among many investors, not only in Singapore, but in Hong Kong. Here, you can discuss with professionals face-to-face and get the latest market information.
With that said, it can be challenging to find summarized information about interesting property exhibitions online. In this guide, I present four of the biggest and most popular exhibitions in Singapore.
I will also explain how you can find smaller yet useful property events and seminars that are held by investors and real estate agencies.
1. SMART Investment & International Property Expo Singapore
Started in 2004, the SMART Investment & International Property Expo is one of the biggest property exhibitions in Singapore. Since its inception, the organizers have produced 53 expos in Singapore, Hong Kong, China, Thailand, and Malaysia.
It’s usually held in October each year but we still wait for information regarding the upcoming exhibition.
Over the years, the exhibition has welcomed more than 150,000 investors and 2,700 exhibitors. Here, local and foreign property investors have the opportunity to meet with reputable developers and other service providers.
Besides, more than hundreds of investment speakers and senior-level property have presented at SMART Expo. The exhibition lasts for two days and you can attend educational seminars, property seminars, and investment seminars.
I recommend you have a look at this exhibition as it’s a great opportunity to learn about overseas investment opportunities and markets.

Other property exhibitions and events in Singapore
Sure, there are many. The above exhibitions are some of the biggest that recur annually. With that said, there are plenty of smaller real estate investment workshops and seminars that the public can attend for free, or for a small fee.
Eventbrite.sg is the leading website that lists different kinds of events continuously. Keep in mind that some events are published within short notice and often less than a month before they start.
You can also find real estate agencies and developers who launch events individually or in collaboration with other firms. One example is Fraser & Co, a large international real estate developer based in Hong Kong that has run successful exhibitions in Singapore, Shanghai, Dubai, Bahrain, Tokyo, Kuala Lumpur, and Beijing.
