Saudi Arabia moves UN World Data Forum and second statistical forum from November 2026 in Riyadh to 2027

Saudi Arabia’s General Authority for Statistics announced Friday that the United Nations World Data Forum and the Second Saudi Statistical Forum, scheduled for Riyadh from November 9 to 12, 2026, have been postponed until 2027.

The decision follows Saudi Arabia’s announcement on Monday that it would defer its flagship investment conference until 2027, after Ansarallah’s operations in the kingdom.

Several other major events in Saudi Arabia have also been canceled or postponed, including the Six Kings Slam tennis tournament and the Saudi Arabia round of the World Rally Championship.
