Saudi Entertainment and Amusement Expo to bring together sector's leaders in May
RIYADH: The Saudi Entertainment and Amusement Expo is set to return for its seventh year from May 20-22 at the Riyadh Front Exhibition and Conference Center, bringing together the world's top entertainment and amusement brands, and showcasing the latest advances in the sector.
SEA 2025 will run alongside the Saudi Light and Sound Expo and will showcase innovation and industry trends, bringing together global experts and sector leaders.
As Saudi Arabia accelerates its Vision 2030 ambitions and positions itself as the nexus of the global entertainment and amusement landscape, the expo serves as a central platform where industry leaders, investors, and visionaries from across the world converge to actively shape the future of entertainment.
From theme parks to experiential tech, local and global brands are finding new ways to be part of Saudi Arabia's entertainment and amusement scene.
Sarkis Kahwajian, associate vice president at organizers DMG Events, said: 'The SEA Expo exemplifies the Kingdom's commitment to becoming a global leader in the entertainment sector.
'SEA Expo is fueling this shift in the entertainment and amusement sector, providing a sought-after platform for businesses to connect, collaborate, and innovate, in line with Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 and the wider Middle East's fast-evolving entertainment landscape.'
Featuring over 300 local and global brands with the latest ingenuity in amusement, theme parks, entertainment tech and more, the expo is set to welcome over 15,000 entertainment industry professionals, opening the door for vital international collaborations and multi-billion-dollar investments.
Co-located with the SLS Expo, it doubles the opportunities and experiences, bringing together two distinct industry events at one venue. The co-location allows attendees to explore a diverse range of products, solutions, and innovations — not just in entertainment and amusement, but also in professional lighting design, technology, and audio advancements.
The SLS Expo will showcase the latest sound, lighting, and audiovisual innovations.
Kahwajian added: 'SLS Expo 2025 is the perfect stage for professionals to see how new-age technology is propelling the Kingdom's professional lighting and sound sector to new heights. We truly believe this expo is an accelerator for the industry in the region.'
As Saudi Arabia's pro-light and sound industry grows in line with Vision 2030's goals of economic development, entertainment expansion, and infrastructure advancement, SLS Expo plays an essential role in this progress, he said, adding that with major investments in awe-inspiring venues and ingenious event tech, it will showcase innovations shaping the future of professional lighting and sound in the Kingdom.
SLS Expo is the ideal meeting hub for suppliers, venue operators, and event organizers to engage with 200 local and global brands.
Beyond the exhibition, the dedicated SLS summit will host over 25 speakers across 10 conference sessions covering a wide range of topics, including captivating event technologies, sustainability in production, and the role of smart tech in live shows.

Saudi Arabia's entertainment sector surges as Platinumlist marks decade of massive growth
Saudi Arabia's entertainment sector is undergoing a dramatic transformation, with its market projected to reach $4.63 billion by 2030. Platinumlist, the premier ticketing platform operating across the Middle East, has released a new report detailing a decade of change in Saudi Arabia's event landscape – highlighting evolving consumer behavior, digitalization and the rise of immersive formats. For more news on Saudi Arabia, visit our dedicated page. Fueled by Vision 2030 and the General Entertainment Authority's push for private-sector participation, more than 3,700 businesses are now engaged in the Kingdom's entertainment industry. Platinumlist, which opened its first office in Saudi Arabia ten years ago, said it has invested $27.9 million in technology and local talent since entering the market. 'Vision 2030 and its initiatives have been instrumental in transforming Saudi Arabia's tourism industry in all sectors, such as Sport, entertainment, and business sectors,' Moayad Qudus, Senior Business Development Manager at Platinumlist, told Al Arabiya English. From concerts to culture hubs Public events in Saudi Arabia have evolved far beyond the Arabic pop concerts that dominated the market in 2016 and 2017, according to Platinumlist. Today, no single category leads, with experiential formats such as immersive zones and seasonal festivals accounting for 24 percent of events, followed by Arabic music and concerts (23 percent), family content (13 percent), youth-focused segments (13 percent), and business conferences (3 percent). Flagship events like Formula 1, Riyadh Season's Winter Wonderland, and the Diriyah Biennale have helped elevate the Kingdom's global profile, while inbound tourist spending reached approximately $40.95 billion in 2024, the platform highlighted in its report. Immersive tech and entertainment destinations Saudi Arabia is moving beyond individual events to create multi-purpose entertainment destinations, Platinumlist's report revealed. Locations like Qiddiya and AlUla blend music, art, and outdoor experiences into a single venue. Digital innovation – including AI-driven personalization, AR/VR integration, and smart crowd control – is now standard. 'The integration of culture, creativity, and cutting-edge tech is shaping once-in-a-lifetime experiences that define Saudi's unique entertainment identity,' Qudus said. 'By opening the market to private investment and building world-class venues across the Kingdom, these programs have driven growth and diversity in the entertainment sector,' he told Al Arabiya English. 'Looking ahead, continued public–private collaboration and a focus on immersive, technology-driven experiences will further reinforce Saudi Arabia's position as a global entertainment hub.' Shifting consumer habits Consumer habits have also shifted sharply in recent years, according to Platinumlist. In 2017, 73 percent of buyers planned events weeks in advance. Today, 31 percent purchase tickets just hours or days ahead, with mobile transactions now representing over 70 percent of all sales. Saudi Arabia was the first GCC country to implement mobile ticketing with dynamic QR codes, which Platinumlist said has reduced fraud by 85 percent. Ticket affordability has also improved, the platform said. The average order value dropped from $373 in 2018 to about $66.65 in 2025, opening access to a wider audience that includes students, families, and younger demographics, the report stated. A decade of milestones Platinumlist now partners with over 300 organizers across Saudi Arabia, including the Ministry of Culture, the Saudi Motorsport Company and the Esports Authority. The company has supported ticketing for more than 1,500 events nationwide, underlining its role in the Kingdom's entertainment evolution. With the entertainment sector expected to grow at a compound annual rate of 10.44 percent, Saudi Arabia is positioning itself not just as a regional leader, but as a global destination for world-class experiences.

Pakistan's leading fashion designer Amir Adnan expresses interest in expanding to Arab world
KARACHI: Pakistan's leading fashion designer, Amir Adnan, says he is eager to open stores and manufacturing facilities in the Arab world, praising Saudi Arabia's evolving openness and deep cultural sophistication. In an interview with Arab News this week, he hailed the Arab world's appreciation for tradition and detail and expressed a desire to re-enter the Middle East market with a more immersive presence. Adnan shared his observations about the Middle East at a time when Saudi Arabia is undergoing a cultural transformation under Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's Vision 2030. The initiative has opened the Kingdom to global music acts, fashion events, cinema and high-profile platforms like Riyadh Season and the Red Sea International Film Festival, as part of efforts to position it as a regional hub for arts and tourism. 'The Arab world is brilliant, and I'm so happy that it is opening up,' the Pakistani designer, who has previously operated stores in Dubai, said. 'Given the opportunity, I would love to go and open up stores over there and have a whole setup over there. We would love to have an office.' Born in Lahore to a bureaucrat father and a mother from Dhaka's royal Nawab family, Adnan launched his eponymous brand in 1990 and is credited with modernizing the traditional sherwani. His designs have shaped Pakistani formalwear for more than three decades. Reflecting on his experience of doing business in the United Arab Emirates, he said Arabs had a distinct appreciation for craftsmanship. 'They appreciated every stitch, every cut, every patch, every fabric, every color combination... they're very keen observers.' He also appreciated the historical and intellectual legacy of the Arab world. 'They introduced medicine. They had the first hospital. They gave us algebra, calculus [and] astronomy. So, where did that come from? It's their sophistication.' The Pakistani designer, who studied at Karachi's Institute of Business Administration, said that despite globalization, Arabs remain deeply rooted in their culture. 'If they had given away their culture and, you know, become totally somebody else, I would not feel so good about them. But I love the Arab people because they hold on and they respect their culture.' Adnan said the fusion of Pakistani craftsmanship with Arab tastes could lead to meaningful collaborations, ranging from fashion to social development. 'They love our fabrics. They love our stitches. They love our handicraft. All we need to do is just convert our garments to blend into their culture,' he said. 'I would go there and mix my ability to suit their requirements.' Beyond commerce, he also envisions joint creative workshops and cultural exchanges. 'We would like to work with their artisans, learn their skills and teach them ours,' he said. The Pakistani designer believes that fashion should be seen beyond economics. 'Besides just the work and the economics of it, it is also liberation of mind,' he said. 'In fact, we'll be able to incorporate a lot of their craft and their skills into our mainstream work.' Looking ahead, Adnan said he hopes to establish a full-fledged base in the Kingdom. 'Hopefully, one day, we'd be able to do that — set up an office over there and a whole workshop over there and even start manufacturing there… and take care of all the Arab world.'
