Saudi Franchise Expo — Jeddah 2026 — Jeddah, 23–25 Nov 2026
Direct answer
The organiser publishes an official 2026 show catalogue with named brands and countries, but the file is not labelled clearly enough to represent it as the complete 23–25 November Jeddah roster. Horizon uses it for target discovery only, pending edition-level confirmation. The organiser states that entry is free for registered trade visitors. Shell scheme starts at 9 m², space-only at 18 m² and country pavilions at 60 m²; monetary rates, sponsorship, tax and optional services are supplied by quotation.

Limits and what this does not prove: The public 2026 catalogue contains named brands, but its completeness for the November Jeddah edition has not been established. Trade-visitor entry is stated as free; stand, sponsorship, tax, cancellation and optional-service prices require a written quotation. Matchmaking is available to registered participants, but individual meeting acceptance is not guaranteed by registration.
