VI - EVENTS ARENA · RIYADH

A venue designed to behave like a technology platform

VI - Events Arena is a proposed 10,000–15,000 capacity destination in Riyadh for concerts, exhibitions, conferences, launches, cultural shows, esports and national occasions — designed not only to host events, but to produce, test and evolve the technologies behind them.

MORE THAN A VENUE

More than a venue

Temporary projects give VI a stage for execution. The Arena gives VI a permanent environment for experimentation, production, rehearsal, training, demonstration and technology development. It becomes Venue + Laboratory + Showroom + Production Center + Training Facility.
