The sixth Hajj Conference and Exhibition will be held in Jeddah from 8 to 11 November 2026. The event is convened by the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah with the Guests of Allah Service Program, one of the Vision 2030 realisation programmes. The dates have been reported by Arab News and Asharq Al-Awsat; the ministry has not yet published the venue.

The conference and exhibition bring together the government bodies, service companies, transport and hospitality operators, technology suppliers and international delegations involved in serving pilgrims. The programme covers accommodation and crowd management, transport and logistics, health services, digital platforms and the licensing of Hajj and Umrah service providers, and the exhibition presents the technology and services deployed during the pilgrimage seasons.

The event matters to executives because Hajj and Umrah underpin one of the largest service economies in the kingdom, with targets to increase Umrah visitors substantially by 2030, and because hotel, airline, transport, insurance and technology companies compete for the contracts and licences that flow from it. Chief executives of hospitality and transport groups and of technology suppliers use the event to meet the ministry and its programme offices.

Registration details are published by the ministry ahead of the event. The fifth edition was held in Jeddah in January 2025.
