About the event
ARABLAB LIVE KSA 2026 takes place on 14 and 15 December 2026 at The Arena in Riyadh, a platform dedicated to laboratory science and industrial analytics in Saudi Arabia. It focuses on the Kingdom's quality infrastructure, from standards and quality control to metrology, and gives international companies a way into the Saudi market.
The exhibition brings together more than 350 international companies showing the latest laboratory technologies and solutions, alongside a two-day conference with more than 150 speakers across three content theatres: Digital Labs, Industrial Labs and Advanced Testing. Sessions cover automation, artificial intelligence, accreditation, compliance, medical laboratories, petrochemicals, mining and food safety. The organiser expects more than 3,000 attendees.
The event is for professionals and invited guests and is not open to the general public; visitors must be 21 or older. Standard registration is free and includes the exhibition and conference on both days, with a paid upgrade to a premium networking pass that adds access to the attendee list and unlimited one-to-one meetings. Opening hours are 10:00 to 18:00 on both days.
