RIYADH: The fourth edition of the Future Investment Initiative (FII), Saudi Arabia’s flagship financial forum, is all set to launch on Wednesday at the King Abdul Aziz International Conference Center (KAICC) in Riyadh. Yasir Al-Rumayyan, chairman of the FII Institute and governor of the Public Investment Fund (PIF), the Kingdom’s sovereign wealth fund, will deliver opening remarks to conference delegates. Elaborate civil and security arrangements, including health precautions and guidelines, have been put in place at the KAICC and the adjoining luxurious Ritz-Carlton hotel, which is housing FII guests. As a result, delegates are being taken to the FII venue and the Plenary Hall in shuttle buses departing from the meeting point at the Ritz-Carlton. The in-person and virtual style of the multi-hub conference is part of an effort by the FII Institute to introduce a new way for convening impact-oriented meeting events.
