This new event, which will run in addition to The Big 5 Dubai, will take place at the Jeddah Centre for Forums and Events on 27 February - 2 March 2011 and is supported by the Jeddah Chamber of Commerce. The move comes as a result of a huge interest in the Saudi construction market, where an estimated US$420 billion of projects are currently underway.

Already established as the leading exhibition of its kind in the Middle East, The Big 5 is a trusted brand amongst exhibitors and visitors. The new event in Saudi will bring together suppliers and developers from across the globe, and allow them to maximise business opportunities in this growing market. It will also extend The Big 5's knowledge and expertise to the western province of Saudi.
