From December 15-17, 2025, HORECA Riyadh is set to transform Riyadh Front Exhibition & Conference Center into the kingdom’s most anticipated stage for hospitality and foodservice. Over three eventful days, Saudi Arabia’s hospitality community will gather chart what’s next for the industry under Vision 2030. We learn more.
HORECA Riyadh has evolved into the region’s must-attend hospitality platform. This edition, which marks the exhibition’s 14th, will take place at a larger venue to accommodate a greater number of exhibitors and visitors.
Indeed, HORECA Riyadh is forecast to welcome more than 55,000 trade professionals and showcase the products and services of more than 400 companies across 40,000 sqm of exhibition space.
New for 2025
HORECA Riyadh will be held alongside Host Arabia, bringing the HostMilano spirit to Riyadh and amplifying access to world-class hospitality equipment, technology and design — a powerful synergy for buyers and brands alike. Salon du Chocolat et de la Pâtisserie Riyadh and Saudi Elite Chefs will also take place in the adjacent halls, resulting in four major events under one roof.
From equipment and technology to premium ingredients, food and beverage products, design concepts and end-to-end F&B solutions, the event aims to connect buyers with manufacturers and suppliers.
Jad Taktak, CEO of Semark Group, co-organizer of the event, said: “This edition marks the greatest alliance of hospitality exhibitions in Saudi Arabia. We are thrilled to join over 100 years of combined experience. The expectations are very high.”
Competitions
At the heart of the show, signature contests will set the tempo: the Hospitality Salon Culinaire (live culinary competitions), Barista, Latte Art and Mocktail Competitions (celebrating the kingdom’s flourishing beverage scene), and the Art of Service and Bedmaking Competitions (spotlighting service excellence).
“Every edition of HORECA Riyadh is about raising the bar. This year, we’re not just displaying products, we’re shaping the future of Saudi hospitality together and celebrating the kingdom’s rising stars,” said Joumana Dammous-Salamé, managing director of Hospitality Services, co-organizer of the event.
Talks
Knowledge and insight lie at the heart of HORECA Talks, where experts and hospitality leaders participate in panel discussions surrounding trends, opportunities and investment. The talks help drive innovation and progress in the ever-evolving world of hospitality and foodservice. Among this year’s topics are technology, human resources, hospitality development and F&B trends.
