What FUTURE PropTech does

FUTURE PropTech is a UK-based event and conference company that organizes large-scale property technology conferences for the global real estate ecosystem. Founded in 2015 and operating under the legal entity Metropolitan Events Live Ltd (registered in England and Wales, company number 09234637), the company is headquartered in London and was acquired by CREtech in 2020. Its flagship offering is an annual conference attracting 2,500+ delegates, 100+ speakers, and 1,000+ companies from 50+ countries, including institutional investors, real estate private equity firms, fund managers, property developers, construction firms, property managers, surveyors, brokers, and venture capitalists. The company claims to have doubled in size every year since launch.

The company's product surface consists of the annual in-person conference, a mobile networking application enabling 1:1 meeting booking and delegate discovery (opening six weeks before each event), corporate sponsorship and exhibitor packages (with headline sponsors including CBRE and CoStar), and a growing set of add-on digital services including newsletter advertising, dedicated email campaigns, virtual event co-production, and co-branded research and insights reports. Underlying technology is minimal — the networking app and event website constitute the only described digital infrastructure, with no proprietary AI, data platform, or software product.

FUTURE PropTech monetizes through three primary revenue streams: (1) delegate ticket sales priced at £295 for qualifying startups (companies less than 3 years old) and £495 for corporate attendees, with group discounts of 10–20% for 3+ ticket purchases; (2) sponsorship and exhibitor packages sold directly to enterprise vendors seeking access to the 2,500+ real estate decision-maker audience; and (3) digital marketing services targeting the same audience year-round. The company operates with a lean team of 1–10 employees, suggesting a high-leverage event business model where most operational cost scales with the event cycle rather than fixed headcount. Ticket sales are non-refundable but transferable, and the company maintains a COVID-19 contingency policy allowing rollover or refund if events cannot be held within 12 months.
