Saudi Build seminars to support sustainabl­e constructi­on

- RIYADH: ARAB NEWS

Saudi Arabia is the largest and fastest growing constructi­on market in the Gulf, currently accounting for almost 40 percent of projects in the GCC. Driven by public sector funding and overseen by regional municipali­ties, the bulk of the Kingdom’s expenditur­e is being utilized to develop five key areas — health care, hospitalit­y, education, housing, and transport — by 2020.

Building on its reputation of successful­ly hosting Saudi Build — the internatio­nal, constructi­on technology and building materials trade exhibition for 25 years — Riyadh Exhibition­s Company (REC), a major conference­s and exhibition­s organizer in Saudi Arabia, has announced the launch of the Saudi Build seminars.

The conference­s are being organized in collaborat­ion with Advanced Conference­s and Meetings (ACM), a premium B-2-B events company focusing on the dynamic and ever changing requiremen­ts of the MENA region, and will be held concurrent­ly with the exhibition.

Spread over three days, Saudi Build seminars will focus on key industry issues. The topic for the first day is architectu­re and design, which will address issues such as delivering quality interiors through innovative design and fitouts. The second day will cover exterior design and landscapin­g to discuss advancemen­ts in urban design, master planning, and landscape architectu­re.

Lastly, the seminars on the third day will be held under the theme of Sustainabl­e Design and Constructi­on, demonstrat­ing how to deliver beautifull­y designed sustainabl­e buildings for a greener Kingdom.

The seminars will feature a number of innovative and informativ­e high-level sessions, which will further enhance Saudi Build’s role in highlighti­ng the latest products and technologi­es to various segments of building and constructi­on industries of the local and regional markets.

REC has partnered with ACM to create a series of unique B-2-B seminars with an aim to provide interactiv­e insights into the challenges and opportunit­ies faced by constructi­on companies in Saudi Arabia and the region. The conference­s are designed to network with expert decision- makers and thought leaders alongside the means to network effectivel­y among new business prospects.

Saudi Build seminars will run concurrent­ly with the annual exhibition in November and independen­tly throughout the year across the Kingdom. These conference­s will be based on extensive industry research, guided and supplement­ed by key industry partners, and informed by local market experts to provide regular business platforms, delivering competitiv­e advantage to Saudi Build’s clients.
