Michael Geary

CEO, President, IFMA

This is my first time at LivableCitiesX Summit. It’s been a great opportunity to meet people, network, and gain insights into urban development in the Middle East. We also discussed enhancing affordable housing and exploring how solutions from ASEAN and China can be localized here. I’m looking forward to coming back next year.

Daniel Liu

Executive Director, Morrow Intelligence

This is my first time attending LiveableCitiesX Summit. My main purpose was to connect and network with people in the field, and over these two days, I’ve had so many valuable networking opportunities. I didn’t expect the event to be so engaging, but it completely changed my perception - it’s very professional and interesting.

Sahra Ghasemi

Marketing Manager, IFBS Holding LLC

The key takeaway for me at LivableCitiesX Summit was understanding people dynamics and how cities are shaped by residents, government policies, and the environment that attracts them. I’m looking forward to attending next year as well.
