World-class facilities Strategically located in the three main business hubs of Jeddah, Riyadh and Dammam, Saudi Arabia's main international exhibition and convention venues ensure that world- class facilities are available to all business sectors. The Kingdom's largest venues, the Jeddah Centre for Forums & Events and the Riyadh
International Exhibition Centre, provide facilities on a par with any other modern city. There are also government conference centres, such as Qassim Provincial Headquar- ters and the King Faisal Hall, which are occasionally opened to the commercial market, along with university buildings with dedicated meetings facilities. Qassim University is just one of many venues with plans for expansion. The academic facility has plans in place to build a major conference centre. This development will in- clude a 2,500-seat auditorium and 5,000 square metres of exhibition space. It will provide considerable ancillary facilities and be a centrepiece for the university campus.

Economic City (KAEC) being developed on the western coast will include meetings and conference facilities, although no plans have been confirmed. Being built near al-Rabegh industrial city, north to Jeddah, KAEC will extend 35 kilometres along the coastline. The city will also include petrochemical, pharmaceuti- cal, tourism, finance, and education and research areas. The Jeddah Centre for Forums & Events, which opened in 1990, offers services to the highest international standards. It was estab- lished, developed and is owned by the Jeddah Chamber of Commerce and Industry (JCCI). This modern exhibition complex is conve- niently located just minutes from Jeddah's main business centre, banks, government offices, shopping malls and major hotels. The centre boasts an 8,000 square metre lounge area and parking for more than 1,500 cars. The centre can supply exhibitors with wireless internet, electricity and water, free coffee and access to a business centre, com- plete with fax machines, printers, computers, phones and photocopier. This exhibition centre was the first to be
built in Saudi Arabia. With Jeddah being the Kingdom's commercial centre, the location remains ideal. The Al Harithy Company for Exhibitions
Ltd (ACE) operates out of the Jeddah Centre for Forums & Events. ACE was the first company in the Kingdom to specialise in organising exhibitions.
