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 in Riyadh have 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.

These events will now be held from November 1 to 4 in 2027, said the event organisers Riyadh Exhibitions Company.

"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," stated the Riyadh Exhibitions Company team in its press release.

"We remain committed to continuing our 46 years of dependable delivery of quality services to our clients and community. At this moment, our thoughts are with the community in Kingdom and across the region, and are deeply grateful for your understanding, trust, and continued support," it added.-TradeArabia News Service
