Saudi Media Forum 2027
About the event
The sixth edition of the Saudi Media Forum runs in Riyadh from 1 to 3 February 2027, under the patronage of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, across three days under the theme Media in a Shaping World, with the Future of Media Exhibition (FOMEX) held alongside it at the same location.
The programme of this edition rests on three announced pillars: the future of media and talent development in a changing media landscape, a modern media economy that supports growth and digital sustainability, and global media challenges and the ways to address them. Work is divided between a scientific programme of panel sessions and workshops delivered by speakers, experts and academics, and the FOMEX exhibition with its three zones for artificial intelligence and advanced technologies, for production and for content, alongside an innovation area and the Saudi Media Award. The forum addresses professionals, innovators and decision makers across the media sector, and those working in content creation, broadcasting and production.
Entry is by prior registration through the forum site, and registration for the 2027 edition has not opened yet, while organisations wishing to exhibit within FOMEX have a separate participation form. The venue within Riyadh, the session schedule and the speaker line-up for this edition have not been announced.
