Which event are you targeting first? Tell us in the comments — your success story starts here.
We strongly recommend starting the pre-application phase at least 7 – 10 working days before your planned event date. The full process can take 4-8 weeks, depending on the need for multi-authority approvals (like Civil Defense or GEA).
The most common mistake is underestimating the cost of premium AV/technical infrastructure and not budgeting for an adequate contingency fund to cover permit fees or last-minute regulatory requirements.
Yes. We have dedicated, on-ground teams and a vetted network of local vendors in both Riyadh and Jeddah, allowing us to manage and execute seamless multi-city or geographically specific events for our corporate clients.
The permit is mandatory for most B2B events, including conferences, trade shows, exhibitions, public-facing seminars, and large corporate gatherings (with a fee or sponsorship). It’s always safer to check with an expert.
