Global Health Exhibition 2026 — Oct 26-29 Riyadh | Healthcare Stand Builder

Global Health Exhibition 2026 takes place 26-29 October at the Riyadh Exhibition and Convention Center in Malham. Organized by Informa Markets, it has become the Middle East's largest healthcare event: 2,200+ exhibiting brands, more than 130,000 healthcare professionals and 20+ country pavilions.

Note the four-day format

Some calendars — including official Turkish support listings — show this show as three days ending 28 October. The organizer's own schedule runs 26 to 29 October, opening 09:30 on the first day and closing 18:00 on the fourth. Staffing and hospitality budgets built on three days will be short by a full day. Verify against the organizer before finalizing rotas.

Healthcare stands are compliance projects

Medical device exhibitors face requirements other sectors do not: equipment demonstrations may need dedicated power and grounding, some devices require restricted-access zones, and product claims displayed on the stand fall under Saudi regulatory scrutiny. We plan medical projects with those constraints in the brief — a demonstration area that satisfies the venue's safety review, storage for consumables out of sight, and clean-surface finishes that read as clinical rather than decorative.

The Malham venue is not the old RICEC

Riyadh's new exhibition and convention center at Malham is a different site from the older RICEC in the city — different access, different logistics, different contractor procedures. Exhibitors who booked hotels and freight against the wrong venue lose build-up days. We confirm venue and hall against your booking before design starts.

Country pavilions and Turkish participation

With 20+ country pavilions, Global Health is a pavilion show as much as an exhibitor show. If you are part of a Turkish delegation, the pavilion structure and your individual stand are usually separate contracts — and the pavilion is where a coherent national presence is won or lost. We have built at national-pavilion scale, including a 1,200 m² Türkiye Pavilion at COP29 Baku.

Timing

The show opens 26 October 2026. Confirm production by early September; Gulf production removes freight deadlines but venue approvals and service orders do not wait. Send your stand size and device list for a 3D concept and price band within 24 hours.
