Money20/20 Middle East will be thus twice the size of its original version. Annabelle Mander, Executive Vice President of Tahaluf, said:

“MONEY20/20 is currently the biggest brand in the fintech industry worldwide, and now is the perfect time to build its Middle East version that would be twice as large as the flagship event when it opens in Riyadh.”

Tracey Davies, President of Money20/20, said:

“Indeed, our customers have envisioned the vast opportunity in this area. Praising the competence of Tahaluf, 2025 is accurate and perfect timing to launch this vibrant, revolutionary event.’’

Money20/20 was established in Las Vegas in 2012 and was initially very effective in taking the event to Europe and Asia, with the event’s flagship in Amsterdam and Bangkok. The Middle East edition draws attention to this region’s importance in today’s world economy.

As of July 2024, Informa completed the acquisition of Ascential, Money20/20’s parent company, for 1.55 billion dollars, setting the stage for geographical diversification of strategic locations, including Saudi Arabia.
