Action-packed agenda and new event features planned for forthcoming Riyadh gathering
Promising a packed, ambitious agenda, Future Hospitality Summit (FHS) Saudi Arabia 2025 will take place at the Mandarin Oriental Al Faisaliah in Riyadh, from May 11-13.
This year’s theme is ‘Where Vision Shapes Opportunity,’ and will see FHS Saudi Arabia spotlight everything from start-ups to staffing and innovation to investment. It will also address challenges, opportunities and trends in hospitality and tourism with leaders from government entities, the hospitality and education sectors, investment firms and developers.
Jonathan Worsley, Chairman of The Bench, organizer of FHS Saudi Arabia, said: “Our power-packed 2025 agenda is our most ambitious yet, with over 130 speakers confirmed. Expect in-depth discussions, strong debate and deep insight from some of the Middle East’s most respected, talented and experienced leaders; a wealth of topics and a host of special events, awards and features that celebrate Saudi’s hospitality sector of today – and shape the industry of tomorrow.”
The FHS Saudi Arabia agenda has dozens of sessions across more than 12 content tracks over three days. There are also key Saudi-specific sessions covering mega-events, climate risk, sustainability, the future of tourism and wellness.
Highlights include a Next Gen Investment Forum, a new event uniting leaders to explore issues and opportunities in hospitality education, training and talent retention. The event will also see the return of the Start Up Den, a platform for entrepreneurs to present business models to judges and investors. In addition, FHS Saudi Arabia will host a Master Class on branded residences and its highly anticipated Awards event.
