Countdown to ODBW 2026: Shaping Oman’s Design, Construction & Real Estate Future

The countdown is on for Oman Design & Build Week (ODBW) 2026, scheduled to take place from 11–13 May 2026 at the Oman Convention & Exhibition Centre (OCEC) in Muscat. Organised by CONNECT, this distinguished B2B exhibition and conference stands as Oman’s most prominent platform for the building, construction, design, and real estate sectors—a dynamic gathering designed to unite innovators, developers, professionals, and investors under one roof.

ODBW 2026 integrates three major components: the Oman Design & Build Expo, the Oman Real Estate Expo, and the Real Estate Conference. Together, these elements create a comprehensive and highly effective environment for sourcing the latest products, connecting with suppliers, engaging with real estate brokers and agents, and negotiating the best solutions in one efficient setting.

The event presents a remarkable opportunity to explore a wide array of innovations in construction and design. In past editions, attendees have encountered everything from advanced building systems, smart automation technologies, and sustainable materials, to kitchen and bathroom finishes, HVAC systems, and real estate development solutions. The exhibition's versatility reflects the sector’s vitality, showcasing how aesthetics, functionality, and sustainability converge to drive Oman’s built environment forward.

Co-located real estate programming elevates the relevance of ODBW. The integrated Real Estate Conference and Expo series ensure that attendees gain valuable insights into emerging trends, investment opportunities, and strategic market developments. This dual focus on design/construction and real estate positions the event as an essential business platform for both local and international stakeholders seeking to deepen their presence in Oman’s evolving market.

With just under a year until doors open, ODBW 2026 is poised to be a defining milestone in Oman’s development calendar. It will convene a diverse mix of industry leaders, business decision-makers, and innovators, all committed to shaping the future of the nation’s infrastructure, urban design, and real estate landscape. As Oman continues its journey towards sustainable and forward-looking development, ODBW 2026 promises to spotlight the ideas, partnerships, and products that will act as catalysts for policy, investment, and progress across the sector.
