During its regular February meeting, the event organization committee at the Jeddah Chamber of Commerce & Industry (JCCI) decided that the sectoral meeting for all businesses will be held in the Jeddah Province on May 11. The meeting is to take place at the chamber’s Juffali Hall from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The February meeting was held in the presence of Firas Adel Al-Maddah, president of the committee; Abdulwahab Mahmoud Baghdadi, vice chairman; Committee members Khaled Hashim Naqro, Yasser Mahmoud Bakr, Osama Abdulaziz Sarhan, and Mahmoud Ahmed Al-Awadhi; along with Mohammed Saif, director of the chamber’s tourism sector; and Committee Rapporteur Rakan Al-Barakati.

The members stressed the importance of re-activating and deploying the two initiatives previously launched to survey the public, and called for all materials related to events within the province of Jeddah to be published via all communication channels of the chamber and through the dedicated website.

Following the direct request from the general secretariat of the JCCI, the event organization committee recommended establishing a seat for the committee in all legislative and executive committees at all major forums held in the Jeddah Province provided that the representative of the committee is not considered to be a competing party for the organization of the event.

The applicable major forums include Jeddah Economic Forum (JEF), Jeddah Ghair Festival, Jeddah Shopping Festival, and the Jeddah Commercial Forum.

Firas Adel Al-Maddah, president of the committee, mentioned that the committee is currently witnessing unprecedented activity thanks to the committee’s clarity.

Al-Maddah added: “The experienced professionals of the committee are capable of elevating the level of such events by virtue of their experience and knowledge. I do not believe that their participation in these committees is contrary to the interests or effectiveness of the forum’s executive committee.”
