The GPRC Summit Riyadh 2026, held on 26–27 January 2026 at the Hyatt Regency Riyadh Olaya, brought together the region’s most influential leaders to explore the future of Governance, Performance, Risk, and Compliance in an increasingly complex and interconnected world.
Under the theme “The Future of GRC with Integrated Performance and Strategy,” the summit positioned itself as the GCC’s premier platform for advancing integrated G[P]RC frameworks that align governance, risk, compliance, and performance with strategic execution.
Organised by Ejtemaat Events MENA, hosted by Corporater, supported by the Center of Governance, and delivered in partnership with leading regional sponsors, the summit convened 700+ attendees, 40+ expert speakers, and participants from 10+ countries, reflecting the growing regional and international relevance of GRC transformation.
A Strategic Platform for the GCC and Beyond
The invitation-only event welcomed CEOs, board members, senior executives, policymakers, and GRC professionals from across the GCC and wider region. Over two days, delegates engaged in a high-impact agenda that included keynote sessions, panel discussions, one masterclass, and six focused workshops, all designed to deliver practical, actionable insights.
Discussions centred on how organisations can move beyond siloed compliance approaches and adopt integrated G[P]RC models that enhance resilience, strengthen decision-making, and support sustainable growth. Speakers addressed pressing topics such as regulatory evolution, digital transformation, cybersecurity, enterprise resilience, sustainability, and performance-driven governance.
