Informa postpones cityscape global Riyadh to February 2027, moves global health exhibition online

RAYIDH, Oct. 28 (YPA) – British events company Informa has announced major changes to its event schedule and financial plans in Saudi Arabia, citing the impact of Yemeni military operations and missile attacks that have disrupted business and events in the region.

In this context, the company decided to postpone the Cityscape Global exhibition in Riyadh until February 2027. It also opted to move the Global Health Exhibition in Riyadh to a virtual format, replacing the planned in-person event with an online gathering.

Financially, Reuters reported that Informa had cut its global revenue growth forecast from 6% to 3%, attributing the revision to missile attacks and tensions that disrupted its events and activities in Saudi Arabia.

According to Reuters, the company also expects revenue from its events in Saudi Arabia to remain at a complete standstill through the end of 2026.
