Saudi Arabia will host the 2026 Saudi Media Forum, Feb. 2–4, in Riyadh. The annual event brings together policymakers, broadcasters, technology vendors, content producers and media executives from across the Middle East and beyond, helping position the kingdom as a regional hub for media, broadcasting and digital content.
The Future of Media Exhibition 2026 is the exhibition arm of the Saudi Media Forum. Organizers say the exhibition will focus on emerging media technologies, including broadcasting infrastructure, content production tools, artificial intelligence, immersive media and digital platforms.
According to the Saudi Media Forum, FOMEX is designed to provide a practical showcase alongside the forum’s strategic discussions, allowing companies to demonstrate new products and services while engaging directly with decision-makers. The exhibition is expected to attract international exhibitors and visitors, reflecting Saudi Arabia’s broader push to attract foreign investment and expertise into its media sector.
The Saudi Media Forum itself will feature panel sessions, keynote talks and workshops examining the future of journalism, broadcasting, content creation and media regulation in a rapidly evolving digital environment, organizers said.
Together, SMF and FOMEX form part of Saudi Arabia’s wider efforts to develop its creative industries and strengthen its role in regional and global media markets. RedTech will be in Riyadh to cover the event.
