Edition and registration
Use the registration link on the FMF website, and check which edition the organizer confirms before arranging travel. At our review, the site header showed 12–14 January 2027, while older reports and some media labels still gave other dates. The linked registration page asks for an email address and says existing registrants will receive a verification code; that page alone does not show your pass category or edition. Keep the organizer’s confirmation and use its support route if those details are unclear. Forum registration may not include every meeting, session or exhibitor area, so review the current programme and badge conditions for the activities you want to attend. MBS does not issue admission, approve registrations or recover registration codes. The organizer handles those requests, including corrections to the dates shown elsewhere on its site.
Venue and access
The organizer’s venue reference names King Abdulaziz International Conference Center in Riyadh. Reconfirm the location and entrance instructions for your booked edition before arranging transport or deliveries. RICEC, Riyadh Front and Malham are different venues. The meeting rooms, exhibition hall, badge collection point and contractor loading entrance may each have different access arrangements. Visitors should keep their confirmation to hand and check the current programme for the sessions they plan to attend. For an exhibition delivery, request the hall allocation, approved loading route and vehicle requirements from the organizer. Gates, travel times and parking depend on current edition guidance and are not listed here. Share any access or mobility requirements with the organizer early enough to confirm arrangements.
Mining display brief
| Display objective | Brief the production team | Check before approval |
|---|---|---|
| Mineral samples | Sample dimensions, weights and display surfaces | Handling, security and access to each sample |
| Equipment or models | Full dimensions, total weight and demonstration method | Transport route, floor loading and service needs |
| Investment meetings | Team size, seating and desired privacy | Circulation, noise and meeting capacity |
| Maps and project information | Approved artwork, screens and language requirements | Readability, version control and power locations |
Samples, equipment and meeting space
A minerals display can centre on a physical sample, a piece of equipment, a project map or investment meetings. Tell us which matters most before the booth layout is chosen. Samples need a surface suited to their size and handling; models need clear sightlines; meeting areas need seating and enough distance from the entrance to keep circulation clear. If the team will present digital maps or project information, specify the screens, approved content and electrical requirements. Record who supplies and operates the equipment; fabrication does not include those tasks unless agreed. Bring the allocated dimensions and open sides to the review. A compact booth with one demonstration and a larger meeting-led layout serve different purposes, and we recommend a size only after seeing the brief. The comparison table lists the details that change the production scope. This guide does not claim a past MBS project at FMF.
Production schedule and exhibitor manual
Ask the organizer for the current drawing submission deadline, service order dates, contractor access window and required handover time. These are separate from the public forum dates. Send them with the floor plan, display inventory and approved brand files so we can assess the production work and confirm availability. If equipment or samples come from another supplier, agree who receives them and when the full display can be checked. Before dispatch, review the agreed dimensions, graphics, finishes and packing list. At installation, inspect the completed work against the approved design and assign any remaining items to a named contact. Plan dismantling and the return of samples or reusable components before the event closes. MBS confirms production slots against the brief and approvals. The itemized quote is sent within 48 hours of complete information; manufacturing time is confirmed separately.
