At the inaugural International MICE Summit, held in Saudi Arabia last month, 12 major events were announced and RX Global, Messe Muenchen and Clarion Events revealed plans to establish offices in the country. “Exhibitions and conferences are poised to thrive in KSA [Kingdom of Saudi Arabia] in the coming years,” Jochen Witt, President and CEO of jwc GmbH, said. “The pace of change in KSA is remarkable.
