About the Event
APEX – America’s Property Expo, Smarter Home & Furnishings (SHF) and the Smarter Infrastructure Summit (SIS) together form a single gateway to the U.S. property, smart living and infrastructure markets. Real estate, construction, home technology, energy, digital infrastructure and investment are all represented under one roof.
For three days this September, The Expo at World Market Center in Las Vegas becomes the meeting point for global capital and American opportunity. Following editions in New York, Miami and Chicago, the 4th edition of APEX convenes alongside SHF and SIS as one co-located ecosystem. Developers meet investors. City leaders meet capital. Technology meets the projects that need it.
Designed around the flow of global capital into the United States, the event connects developers, institutional and private investors, government agencies, technology providers and solution suppliers with the buyers, partners and project owners shaping America’s next generation of communities.

Three Platforms, One Ecosystem
| Platform | Focus |
| APEX – America’s Property Expo | The investment and deal-making floor for U.S. and international real estate industry, connecting developers, institutional and private investors, financial institutions and government agencies across residential, commercial, hospitality, industrial, mixed-use and smart city projects. |
| SHF – Smarter Home & Furnishings | The marketplace for connected living, covering smart home systems, furnishings and fixtures, security, energy management, commercial smart technologies and home automation, with real estate developers as its largest visitor group. |
| SIS – Smarter Infrastructure Summit | A solution-driven, decision-maker-led summit where government, industry and research meet to deploy smart, sustainable and fundable infrastructure across energy, water, construction technology, digital tools and climate resilience. |
03
The Market Opportunity
The fundamentals behind the event are compelling. The global real estate market is projected to grow from USD 3.81 trillion in 2022 to USD 5.85 trillion by 2030. The global smart home market, valued at around USD 127 billion in 2024, is expanding at roughly 27% a year. And the United States faces a USD 3.7 trillion infrastructure investment gap over the next decade, according to the American Society of Civil Engineers.
| Las Vegas welcomed 41.7 million visitors in 2024, generating USD 87.7 billion in total economic impact, and is home to an estimated USD 35–40 billion development pipeline through 2030. |

Why Las Vegas, Why Now
Las Vegas is building its next decade. Its major development programmes, from stadiums and resorts to new housing, logistics and data centers, all need the same three things: capital to fund them, homes and buildings to fill them, and infrastructure to power and connect them. That is exactly what APEX, SHF and SIS bring together under one roof.
Each development opens a distinct opportunity, and each finds its natural meeting point across the three co-located shows:
| Development | Opportunity Created | Where It Meets |
| Stadium, Resort & Strip Redevelopment | Hospitality, mixed-use and residential investment around the Strip, connecting developers raising capital with institutional and cross-border investors. | APEX |
| Brightline West Rail Link | New demand for second homes, commuter housing and transit-oriented development, drawing Southern California buyers, family offices and residential developers. | APEX |
| Housing & Master-Planned Communities | Thousands of new homes requiring smart systems, security, energy management, fixtures and furnishings, with developers as the buyers. | SHF |
| North Las Vegas Industrial & Logistics Development | Industrial, logistics, data center and manufacturing development, alongside construction technology and materials. | APEX + SIS |
| AI Data Centers & Power Demand | Grid, energy storage, clean power, water and digital infrastructure solutions for one of America’s fastest-growing data center markets. | SIS |
| PropTech & Smart Buildings | Building automation, digital twins, BIM and IoT platforms that make new developments more efficient, resilient and investable. | SHF + SIS |
Why APEX Matters
For Investors: A single venue to understand where Las Vegas’ growth is heading, evaluate opportunities across global residential, hospitality, industrial and mixed-use real estate, and meet the developers and city leaders shaping the market.
For Developers: Direct access to institutional, private and cross-border capital, alongside the smart home, construction technology and infrastructure partners needed to deliver new projects.
For Solution Providers: A qualified audience of developers, homebuilders, utilities, contractors and public agencies with active pipelines and real procurement needs.
For Government & Economic Development Agencies: A platform to present regional growth strategies and public-private partnership models to an international audience of investors and businesses.
| Las Vegas is building its next decade. APEX is where the capital, homes and infrastructure behind it meet. |

The Summit Programme
Through keynote presentations, leadership panels and moderated dialogues, APEX Las Vegas 2026 will explore why the United States continues to attract global capital, how family offices are deploying capital into U.S. real estate, where cross-border property investment is flowing, and how women leaders, public-private partnerships and AI-driven infrastructure are shaping the next generation of investable, resilient and human-centered communities.
Built around business outcomes rather than conference sessions alone, the programme combines:
- Opening Ceremony, Leadership Keynotes & Panel Discussions
- Exhibition across APEX, SHF & SIS
- B2B Matchmaking & MoU Signings
- Smarter Infrastructure Solution Showcase & Pitch Stage
- Vegas Chamber International Business Network (IBN) Networking Event
- Greater Las Vegas REIA Monthly Members Meeting
- Young Entrepreneurs Programme
- Investor Networking Events & Gala Dinner
B2B Matchmaking
Designed for decision-makers, not spectators, APEX’s structured matchmaking programme connects exhibitors with pre-qualified buyers, institutional and private investors, family offices, developers, government agencies and strategic partners, with more than 150 B2B meetings planned across the three days. Institutional investors can evaluate commercial, industrial and residential opportunities and engage directly with developers raising capital, while SIS exhibitors are featured in a dedicated matchmaking portal with meeting zones for deal flow.
Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) Signings
Beyond networking, APEX provides the setting for strategic announcements and partnership signings. Participating governments, investment promotion bodies, developers and industry organizations are expected to formalize collaborations across cross-border investment, joint development, market entry and technology deployment, reinforcing APEX’s role as a platform where business relationships become long-term partnerships.
