Riyadh Economic Forum Opens in 12th Edition

The 12th Riyadh Economic Forum opened on 13 October 2026 at the Riyadh International Convention and Exhibition Center on King Abdullah Road in Riyadh. The event is held under the patronage of King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, with Prince Faisal bin Bandar bin Abdulaziz, Governor of Riyadh Region, inaugurating the forum on the King's behalf.

The forum runs over three days, from 12 to 14 October 2026, and is being held with in-person participation at the venue.

The Riyadh Economic Forum is one of the Kingdom's recurring gatherings focused on economic discussion, bringing together participants to examine issues of interest to the business community and the wider economy. Its 12th edition continues this role as a platform for dialogue among those involved in the Kingdom's economic landscape.

For residents and the business community in Riyadh, the forum reflects the city's ongoing position as a hub for economic activity and conversation. At this stage, no registration procedure, attendance fee, session schedule, or speaker list has been confirmed or published. Saudi Living will share further details as they become available.
