SHARE X Istanbul follows the direction of the SHARE X series—an advanced architecture format centered on applied solutions, landmark projects, and high-impact topics such as building performance, sustainability, smart façades and envelopes, innovative materials, digitalization, and the integration of emerging technologies into design and delivery. At the same time, the conference provides a strong framework for professional meetings, knowledge exchange, and networking among architects, engineers, consultants, developers, and industry partners.

SHARE Architects is an international platform for professional events and communication dedicated to architecture and related industries, with an extensive presence across Europe, Central Asia, the Caucasus, and the Middle East. Through conferences, forums, and specialized programs, SHARE creates meaningful opportunities for exchange between leading architecture practices, opinion leaders, and innovative companies—supporting access to expertise, trends, and relevant global case studies.

The previous edition of SHARE X Istanbul confirmed strong interest from the local and regional community, with over 600 professionals from architecture and construction attending a full day of presentations, discussions, and networking. For 2026, the organizers aim to build on this solid foundation and raise the bar even further in terms of topics and speaker selection, maintaining the international standards that define the SHARE platform.
