Saudi Arabia events 2026–2027

Saudi Arabia events 2026–2027: Riyadh, Jeddah and beyond

The Kingdom’s event calendar has grown quickly under Vision 2030, and this guide to Saudi Arabia events 2026–2027 brings the major dates into one place. Most Riyadh exhibitions are held at Riyadh Exhibition and Convention Center in Malham, Riyadh International Convention & Exhibition Center (RICEC) and Riyadh Front Exhibition & Conference Center, while high-level forums meet at King Abdulaziz International Conference Center. For events in Riyadh and Jeddah, the west coast adds Jeddah International Exhibition & Convention Center (JIECC), Jeddah Superdome and the Jeddah Corniche Circuit, and AlUla hosts heritage and cultural seasons. The main exhibition season runs from October to May, with Riyadh Season lifting activity across the capital through the winter.

The listings cover technology, cybersecurity, real estate and construction, food and agriculture, healthcare, finance and investment, mining, culture and sport. Headline dates include LEAP 2027, Cityscape Global 2026, Black Hat MEA 2026, Future Investment Initiative 2026 (FII10) and the Formula 1 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix 2027. Saudi audiences are Arabic-first and very active on Snapchat, TikTok and X, so plan Arabic captions and vertical video from the start. Before the show, agree a shot list, approvals and posting times with your team. On site, combine stand photography, interviews and short reels with same-day posts while the event is trending. Afterwards, a recap film and photo library support sales follow-up and next year’s sponsorship case. We work with brands in Saudi Arabia, and our event photography and videography in Riyadh page explains how coverage is arranged: tell us your city and dates and we will confirm crew availability for each project.

Use the calendar by filtering by sector, city or month, then open each event for dates, venue and the official organiser link. Editions marked TBC are expected, not confirmed, so check before booking. For audience and platform trends in the Kingdom, read our Saudi market insights.
