Conference Producer

Tahaluf is rewriting the events playbook. Its purpose is transformational, its DNA digital, and its ambition unprecedented. Over the next 12 months Tahaluf will scale to further increase its lead as the largest B2B Live and On Demand Events organiser in Saudi Arabia: by SQM, Attendance, Colleagues and Revenue.

To scale at this pace requires impeccable local partners, and Tahaluf is proud to enjoy the support and partnership of several Gov and Non Gov Organisations that are at the apex of Saudi's B2B and B2C large scale events scene. In fact, our partners don't just support the expansion of live events in the Kingdom; they're also the partner of choice for heavyweights like Apple, Amazon and AliBaba.

Throughout 2023 and 2024 Tahaluf will build on its award-winning events; LEAP ( ) and Black Hat Middle East ( ), to launch new, largescale business-to-business events. From technology, real estate and food to pop culture, intermobility, beauty and beyond, Tahaluf will introduce a vibrant, varied portfolio of events, trade shows and conferences to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
