MEI to Host Key Market Visit to Saudi Arabia and Summit in UK for Global Events Industry

Major Events International (MEI) has announced two significant initiatives for late 2025: a Market Visit to Saudi Arabia in September and The Events Summit 2025 in November. These events aim to strengthen international collaboration and innovation within the global events industry.

The MEI Market Visit is scheduled from September 14 to 18, 2025, in Jeddah and Riyadh. This initiative seeks to connect event rights holders, host cities, and suppliers, facilitating the successful delivery of major events. Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030, which focuses on economic diversification and cultural enrichment, provides a fitting backdrop for this visit. The program includes high-level briefings with Saudi government representatives, site visits to key venues, and networking receptions with local stakeholders.

Following the Market Visit, The Events Summit 2025 will take place on November 4 at Emirates Old Trafford in Manchester. Recognized as the UK's leading cross-sector gathering for events professionals, the summit will feature panel discussions, workshops, and an exhibition zone showcasing innovations from event service providers. The event will conclude with a Gala Awards Dinner celebrating excellence across music, culture, and major events.

These initiatives underscore MEI's commitment to enhancing the successful delivery of major events by fostering international partnerships and knowledge exchange. By aligning with Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 and providing platforms for industry professionals to connect, MEI continues to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of major events worldwide.
