Riyadh is preparing to host a series of major energy and investment conferences across October 2026, with events set to proceed as planned at several of the capital's leading venues.
The 25th WPC Energy Congress tops the lineup, scheduled for 11–15 October 2026 at the Riyadh Front Exhibition & Conference Center on King Khalid International Airport Road. The exhibition and congress sessions run from 12 to 15 October. Registration is available through the official WPC Energy Congress registration channel. Exact delegate fees were not available at the time of writing.
Running alongside as part of Riyadh Energy Week, the 17th Clean Energy Ministerial and the 11th Mission Innovation Ministerial are set for 11–13 October 2026 in Riyadh. No public participation fee was identified for these ministerial meetings.
More events across the month
The OAPEC Symposium on Pathways to Reduce Carbon Emissions will take place 14–15 October 2026, also at the Riyadh Front Exhibition & Conference Center. Registration is free, though participants are responsible for their own travel, accommodation, and visa costs.
Later in the month, the 10th Future Investment Initiative Conference is scheduled for 26–29 October 2026 at the King Abdulaziz International Conference Center in Riyadh. Exact registration fees and access requirements were not available at the time of writing.
For residents and the business community in Riyadh, the packed calendar means added activity across the city, from increased hotel demand to busier traffic around the host venues. Those planning to attend are advised to check official registration channels early and confirm fees and access requirements closer to the dates.
