Finance and investment events in Riyadh

Riyadh is the Gulf's fastest-growing finance and investment events market, powered by the Public Investment Fund, the Saudi Exchange and the influx of global banks and asset managers that have set up regional headquarters in the city. The Future Investment Initiative is its best-known gathering, drawing heads of state, fund managers and chief executives each year. Around it sits a busy programme of private equity and capital markets conferences, such as SuperReturn Saudi Arabia, trade and asset-based finance summits, accounting and audit expos, and payments and fintech events including Money20/20 Middle East and Seamless Saudi Arabia. Executive conferences mostly use hotels such as the Fairmont Riyadh, the Four Seasons at Kingdom Centre and the InterContinental Riyadh, as well as venues in and around the King Abdullah Financial District, while larger fintech exhibitions use Riyadh Front or the Riyadh Exhibition & Convention Centre in Malham. Activity peaks from autumn to spring. Hotel prices climb sharply during the flagship investment weeks, so book as early as you can.

Most finance and investment conferences use luxury hotels such as the Fairmont Riyadh, the Four Seasons Hotel Riyadh at Kingdom Centre and the InterContinental Riyadh, or venues in the King Abdullah Financial District, where many banks and funds are based. Larger exhibitions with finance tracks use Riyadh Front or Malham.
Do I need a visa to attend a trade show in Saudi Arabia?
Citizens of GCC countries need no visa. Visitors from many other countries can get the Saudi tourist eVisa online or on arrival, and it covers attending conferences and exhibitions, though not working at them. Exhibitors and speakers usually apply for a business visit visa with an invitation from the organizer or a Saudi company. Eligibility and fees change, so check the official KSA Visa platform before you book flights.
