Climatech 2026 — HVAC Exhibition & Conference
About the event
Climatech takes place at the Riyadh Front Exhibition & Conference Centre in Riyadh from 23 to 25 November 2026. It brings together heating, ventilation, air-conditioning, cooling and building-automation professionals from across Saudi Arabia under the theme Heat. Ventilate. Cool. Automate.
The exhibition presents high-efficiency air-conditioning systems, chillers, district cooling, heating and ventilation technologies, intelligent controls, building management systems and solutions for energy efficiency and indoor air quality. The conference offers keynotes, case studies and panel discussions on district cooling, data-centre cooling, smart buildings, passive design and demand-side management, for developers, consultants, contractors, facilities managers and sustainability teams.
Registration is free for visitors, and the visitor ticket covers the exhibition, the conference, networking and the event app. Entry is restricted to visitors aged 21 and over and children are not admitted; entering the event means consenting to filming and photography for promotional and archival use. The event is co-located with Solar & Storage Live Riyadh, MOVE Riyadh and Highways KSA, with one ticket for all four events.
