Two of the major events in the Saudi construction sector - the 36th edition of Saudi Build and the 27th edition of Saudi Elenex - originally scheduled to be held from November 2 to 5 at Riyadh has been postponed to next year due to the ongoing Middle East tensions.

Saudi Build is the kingdom’s longest-running construction platform, showcasing building materials, construction technologies, smart building solutions, machinery, and sustainable infrastructure, while Saudi Elenex is a dedicated event for electricity, alternative/renewable energy, lighting & fittings, HVAC-R, electromechanical systems, and smart home/city technologies.

"This decision was made for the safety, comfort and well-being of our valued stakeholders as our highest priority, and allowing additional time to facilitate international participation, partnerships, and successful trade collaborations," said the event organisers.
