Planning Retail & Malls events in Saudi Arabia and the Gulf: a practical guide
Retail & Malls events in the Gulf usually fall into four types: conferences and seminars, product launches, internal and external communication events, and exhibition presence. The recurring constraint is production rather than creative — mall management gives you a footprint, a night to install and a strict list of what may touch the floor or hang from the ceiling — the design has to be built around those rules. Plan the approvals and build window first, quote itemised, and decide before you design which elements you want to reuse.
