MENA Industrial Futures Forum 2026
About the event
The MENA Industrial Futures Forum (MIFF) takes place on 6 and 7 October 2026 at Le Méridien Al Khobar in Saudi Arabia's Eastern Province, under the theme "Smart, Secure and Sustainable Industrial Operations" for oil and gas, energy, utilities and heavy industries.
The programme puts instrumentation, control and process automation at its core, alongside industrial cybersecurity, AI in operations, data centres, semiconductors and advanced manufacturing, and industrial decarbonisation. It is aimed at plant operators, regulators, technology providers, investors and academics, with operator-led sessions and technology demonstrations in an accompanying exhibition.
Visitors register through a form on the organiser's website, and the MIFF team confirms each registration and sends joining details. An executive roundtable by Akamai is held on the first day alongside the forum at the same hotel.
