This significant event is set to take place on February 19 and 20 at the Ritz Carlton in Riyadh. The summit serves as a crucial platform for global CEOs, policymakers, industry pioneers, and innovators to deliberate on the future of the retail industry and identify the upcoming trends and opportunities.

A Platform for Insightful Dialogue
The Retail Leaders Circle MENA Summit is renowned for bringing together a diverse group of voices from various backgrounds and geographies. The event promises insightful dialogues on the future of retail and commerce, with participation from influential executives, industry trailblazers, innovators, investors, and analysts. This collective assessment will explore an industry that is experiencing rapid changes and reinvention.
Integrating Lifestyle Amenities
ROSHN's strategic approach to real estate development includes integrating retail with essential lifestyle amenities such as education, healthcare, schools, leisure and entertainment, and sports facilities. A prime example of this strategy is the recently relaunched ROSHN Front -- formerly Riyadh Front -- which offers 80,000 sqm of mixed-use lifestyle, retail, and dining outlets. This development is designed to enhance options for residents, workers, visitors, and retailers by integrating with neighboring SEDRA, ROSHN’s flagship community.
