- Investors should check the Investors Forum programme on the official website to pick the sessions and meetings that matter to them.
- Note that the final day, Thursday 29 October, closes at 6:00 pm instead of 7:00 pm.
- Healthcare practitioners should check the continuing medical education schedule in advance to pick the right sessions.
- The exhibition runs on the same days as the Future Investment Initiative at the King Abdulaziz International Conference Center, so expect busier city roads that week.
Getting there
The Riyadh Exhibition and Convention Center is in Malham, north-west of Riyadh and a fair distance from the city centre. According to the official website, complimentary shuttle buses run regularly between SABB Metro Station and the venue throughout the event; metro tickets are sold in the Darb app and at station kiosks. If you plan to use the shuttle, allow for waiting and travel time, and check the pick-up point at the station on the map linked from the visit page.
You can book a ride in Drovox Passenger, either to SABB station or straight to Malham, and see the fare before you confirm. Women riders can choose the women option so that only female Heroes receive the request.
Follow the event's official channels for any schedule updates, or visit the official Global Health Exhibition website.
