WohnZukunftsTag 2026 is a two-day conference for Germany’s housing and real estate sector, taking place in Berlin on 29–30 June 2026. It is organised by the GdW Bundesverband deutscher Wohnungs- und Immobilienunternehmen, the main federal association representing German housing and real estate companies. The event is designed as a professional forum for industry leaders, housing providers, policymakers, and other specialists working on the future of residential development and management.
The stated purpose of the event is to address major structural changes affecting the sector. These include climate targets, digitalisation, increasing regulatory pressure, and the need to maintain affordable housing. The programme is built around practical exchange and sector-specific problem solving rather than general presentation formats. According to the event description, it will feature deep-dive sessions, workshop reports, interactive discussions, live pitches, and award ceremonies. Topics announced for discussion include digital resilience, cybersecurity, EU Wallet applications, innovative financing approaches, and new construction concepts.
The event also includes the DW-Zukunftspreis der Immobilienwirtschaft 2026, a long-running industry award that has been presented annually since 2004. The 2026 edition is focused on innovative services for modern renting under the motto “Wohnen⁺: Mehr als vier Wände – Innovative Services für modernes Mieten.” It recognises practical projects that provide added value for tenants while remaining affordable.
The expected outcome of WohnZukunftsTag 2026 is to give participants concrete ideas, new contacts, and practical perspectives for their organisations. The venue is the EUREF-Campus in Berlin, a model quarter associated with climate-neutral and resource-efficient urban development. Key figures named on the event page include GdW President Axel Gedaschko, along with Ingeborg Esser and Dr. Christian Lieberknecht from the GdW leadership
