It will gather people interested in the field of Hajj and Umrah from across the Kingdom and the world.
Visitors can discover initiatives, products, services and projects that foster collaboration, address challenges and encourage innovation and creativity at the conference.
The event will encourage investment in new solutions and technologies, as well as enhance capabilities in line with the growth of the Hajj and Umrah sector.
Companies, Hajj missions, parties, service providers, entrepreneurs and authorities are encouraged to showcase their Hajj products and services, creating sustainable partnerships that enhance the pilgrimage experience.
The forum aims to increase the competitiveness of companies and organizations in the Hajj and Umrah sector, providing capabilities to enhance service quality and options as part of the Saudi government’s commitment to pilgrim welfare.
The multiple sessions will include various discussion panels covering key topics including housing, logistics, healthcare, transportation, technology, artificial intelligence, water and energy solutions, all aimed at improving services for pilgrims and Umrah performers.
The ministry aims to create a sustainable system for the development of the pilgrimage experience by utilizing the ideas of experts in the government and private sectors.
