Christie’s International Real Estate Owners Summit 2026 Brings Together Global Industry Leaders in Lisbon

The 2026 Christie’s International Real Estate Owners Summit has brought together leading real estate professionals from across the globe in Lisbon, Portugal, for several days of strategic discussions, industry insights, and international networking.

The event serves as an important platform for affiliate owners and senior executives within the Christie’s International Real Estate network to exchange ideas, strengthen relationships, and explore opportunities for collaboration in an increasingly interconnected luxury property market.

The Summit's agenda focused on key themes shaping the future of the industry, including business growth strategies, the evolution of luxury real estate, organisational development, strategic partnerships, and the role of innovation in delivering exceptional client experiences.

Among the highlights were sessions examining the future direction of the Christie’s International Real Estate network, growth blueprints for successful brokerages, and strategies for building high-performance cultures. Attendees also gained valuable perspectives from leaders of globally recognised luxury brands, exploring how excellence in customer experience, brand positioning, and client relationships can be translated into the real estate sector.

A significant focus was placed on technology and artificial intelligence, with discussions addressing how AI is expected to transform client interactions, business operations, and the broader real estate landscape over the next three to five years. Industry experts shared practical insights into how professionals can move from curiosity to capability and leverage emerging technologies to enhance service delivery.

The Summit also provided a valuable opportunity for affiliates to expand their international networks. Through meetings, panel discussions, and social events, participants connected with colleagues from established and newly joined Christie’s International Real Estate affiliates worldwide, creating new opportunities for cross-border referrals and collaboration.

Alongside the educational programme, attendees enjoyed a series of exclusive networking events hosted at some of Portugal’s most iconic venues, including the National Palace and Gardens of Queluz and Forte da Cruz in Estoril, providing an ideal setting for strengthening relationships within the global Christie’s International Real Estate family.

Representing Malta at the Summit were Miguel Bonello, Managing Director, and Annabelle Bonello Lowell, who joined fellow affiliates from around the world to exchange knowledge, explore emerging trends, and further strengthen international partnerships that benefit clients seeking exceptional property opportunities across global markets.

The 2026 Owners Summit continues to reinforce the value of collaboration, innovation, and global connectivity as key drivers of success in the luxury real estate sector.
