At the Mansard Riyadh, the delegates will experience the grandeur of French-inspired architecture combined with Arabian hospitality as they walk through the hotel's beautiful plaza, lined with Parisian-named buildings - all of which will be decorated with subtle hints of blue and beige to create a calming and timeless atmosphere.
The reception will offer a variety of international and Arabic dishes, with food carts and beverage bars set up as street vendors. The live food stations will be styled as food carts or storefronts, and waiters will offer tray-passed welcome drinks, dates, and Saudi coffee upon arrival.
Throughout the evening, the atmosphere will be enhanced by ambient music from a house musician, a laser display with alternating logos and quotes from notable people in the field, and classic movies projected on the walls of the villas.
