Merath Expo 2026 is Saudi Arabia's first dedicated exhibition for the museums, heritage and cultural development sectors, taking place at the Riyadh Front Exhibition and Conference Center from 30 August to 1 September 2026. The event connects cultural institutions, technology providers, government entities and private sector developers with decision-makers shaping Saudi Arabia's rapidly expanding heritage sector — valued at USD 8 billion and anchored by landmark developments including the Diriyah Gate Development Authority and AlUla. Running alongside the Saudi Entertainment and Attractions Expo and Saudi Light and Sound Expo at Riyadh Front as a co-located dmg events complex, Merath brings together museum operators, science centres, libraries, archives and knowledge organisations seeking the technology, design, content and service providers enabling world-class visitor experiences. The event is positioned as the commercial and professional gateway to Saudi Arabia's growing pipeline of new museums, cultural precincts and heritage tourism destinations being developed under Vision 2030's Quality of Life Programme.

Professionals across the cultural, tourism, and technology sectors should attend Merath Expo 2026 to gain direct access to key decision-makers from government bodies like the Ministry of Culture and major developers such as Diriyah Gate and AlUla. The expo covers critical topics including immersive exhibition design, digital archiving solutions, conservation technologies, visitor experience management, and sustainable heritage tourism. With Saudi Arabia investing heavily in cultural infrastructure as part of Vision 2030, the event offers a unique platform to understand procurement processes, partnership opportunities, and the latest trends shaping the region's heritage landscape. Attendees will leave with actionable insights into the USD 8 billion market, valuable networking connections with over 200 exhibitors and thousands of industry peers, and a clearer roadmap for contributing to the Kingdom's ambitious cultural transformation. Whether you are a museum director, technology provider, architect, or heritage consultant, Merath Expo provides the knowledge and contacts needed to succeed in this rapidly evolving sector.
