The new era of real estate modeling

13 - 16 October 2026, Ragusa Sicily, Italy

From AI to Intelligence – Towards Resilient and Transparent Property Systems

See conference information in Flyer (PDF)

Join us as we explore Automated Valuation Models (AVMs), Modern Market Dynamics, and the evolution of Intelligent Property Systems

Together, we’ll shape data-driven futures and challenge existing stereotypes in real estate modeling — building valuation ecosystems that are transparent, resilient, and future-ready.

Welcome to our Scientific and Practical Conference

This year’s edition 2026 – “The New Era of Real Estate Modeling: From AI to Intelligence” – takes a bold step into the future of property systems. We move beyond static models and siloed thinking, toward an integrated vision where data, value, and governance converge to build real estate ecosystems that are not only intelligent, but also transparent, resilient, and socially responsive.

The conference brings together diverse perspectives to explore how technology, market insight, and responsibility interact across the property lifecycle — from valuation and taxation to urban planning, asset management, and regulatory reform. We’ll examine how digital transformation is shaping not just how we assess value, but how we define and manage it in the context of long-term economic and societal priorities.

Whether you're working with models, data, assets, or policies — this event creates a platform to rethink how we use real estate knowledge to support better decision-making, sustainable growth, and adaptive public value.


Conference Goals

Foster interdisciplinary dialogue among professionals, academics, policymakers, and innovators engaged in real estate modeling, management, valuation, taxation, and digital transformation. Encourage responsible and forward-looking use of technology including AVMs, AI agents, and blockchain-based systems, to strengthen trust, explainability, and system resilience.
Promote integrated approaches to property data, where valuation, taxation, governance, and planning are informed by shared intelligence, transparent processes, and adaptive tools. Support the development of standards and ethical frameworks for automated and mass valuation models that align with evolving global regulations and societal expectations.
Stimulate innovation in intelligent property systems, enabling the creation of scalable, transparent, and socially responsive solutions for both private and public sector challenges. Highlight new forms of value in real estate, including environmental, social, and contextual dimensions — and explore how these can be captured, modeled, and managed responsibly.
Provide practical insights into modern taxation and governance systems, emphasizing fairness, efficiency, and inclusiveness — and how they can be supported through data ecosystems and market intelligence.  

 

Conference Agenda

Geodata, Cadastre & Real Estate Value

This conference explores the evolution of property systems through five critical lenses

Rethinking Value From Market Prices to Societal and Environmental Value.

Exploring how valuation systems can evolve to capture broader dimensions of value, including sustainability, climate risk, social impact, and long-term public benefit.
The Architecture of Property Systems Connecting Cadastre, Data, and Valuation.

Examining how cadastral systems, spatial data infrastructures, and valuation frameworks can form integrated architectures that support governance, taxation, and land policy. 
Intelligence in Property Systems
From Algorithms to Decision Support.

Moving beyond automated models toward intelligent systems that combine data, AI, and human expertise to support resilient policy and market decisions.
Trust as Infrastructure Transparency, Legitimacy, and Governance of Property Data.

Exploring how transparency, explainability, and governance frameworks can strengthen trust in cadastral data, valuation systems, and automated decision-support tools.
Governing Land and Value in a Changing World.

Addressing global challenges such as climate transition, urbanization, fiscal pressures, and digital transformation, and examining their implications for land administration and valuation systems.
