Tahaluf Graduate Development Programme 2025

Tahaluf is rewriting the events playbook. Its purpose is transformational, its DNA digital, and its ambition unprecedented.  Over the next 12 months, Tahaluf will scale to further increase its lead as the largest B2B Live and On Demand Events organiser in Saudi Arabia: by SQM, Attendance, Colleagues and Revenue.  

To scale at this pace requires impeccable local partners, and Tahaluf is proud to enjoy the support and partnership of several Gov and Non-Gov Organisations that are at the apex of Saudi’s B2B and B2C large-scale events scene. In fact, our partners don’t just support the expansion of live events in the Kingdom; they’re also the partner of choice for heavyweights like Apple, Amazon and Alibaba.  

Be part of something BIG!

Building on the success of record-breaking tech event LEAP, which grew to be the world’s largest tech event globally in terms of attendee numbers in just its second edition, and award-winning cyber-security event Black Hat, Tahaluf is bringing iconic Informa brands to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, including CPHI,  Cityscape Global, which celebrated record-breaking participation at its debut Saudi edition.

Now we are looking for Saudi talent to help drive the future of our success. The mission of the Tahaluf Academy is to empower, engage, and educate future talent in events management within the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
