re.comm 26 starts ticket sales: Why the industry is now looking to Kitzbühel.
re.comm 26 is open and with it ticket sales for the 14th Real Estate Leaders Summit. From November 18 to 20, 2026, the exclusive event in Kitzbühel will once again bring together leading experts, investors, CEOs and top decision-makers from the real estate industry to exchange ideas at the highest level. The central theme of this year’s edition is “The Age of Disruption – Strategic decision making between innovation, risk, and global volatility”. In doing so, re.comm 26 is addressing a reality that has long since reached companies: Geopolitical tensions, economic upheaval and technological developments are profoundly changing markets, power relations and value chains. The key question is therefore: What do these changes mean in concrete terms for your own company? This is exactly where re.comm comes in. For three days, international thought leaders from business, science and politics will discuss how companies can remain strategically capable of acting in an environment of permanent uncertainty. The focus is not on abstract visions of the future, but on concrete entrepreneurial levers: from capital allocation and innovation strategies to leadership and organizational structures to location and portfolio decisions. For years, re.comm has seen itself as a think tank for the real estate industry and deliberately brings interdisciplinary perspectives to the stage. It is precisely this combination of strategic foresight, relevant future topics and high-caliber exchange that makes the summit a special format within the industry. The aim is to open up new ways of thinking and provide impetus that can be translated into entrepreneurial action. A key feature of re.comm is its exclusive access. Participation in 2026 will also be exclusively with a personal participation code. This curated model creates a framework for intensive exchange at eye level and a network at C-level. Registration takes place via the website login with an individual access code. Information on how to apply for a personal code can be found on the re.comm website. There is also an attractive price advantage for quick decision-makers: the limited early bird tickets are available now and offer a saving of 500 euros. The offer is valid until April 30, 2026.
