The Carter Murray team had a fantastic experience attending the Saudi Entertainment and Amusement (SEA) Expo, where we connected with a wide range of industry experts. Representing our brand, we were privileged to engage with key leaders shaping the future of the entertainment and leisure sectors.

The expo, held in Riyadh, KSA, from 4 to 6 May 2025, provided the team with a unique opportunity to witness firsthand the innovative pulse that’s propelling Saudi Arabia’s entertainment market.

Charlotte Hamlet | Senior Consultant

At the event, we connected with many of the key industry players, participated in insightful discussions, and took part in collaborative sessions aimed at pinpointing the evolving talent needs within the entertainment space.

Being a leading executive search firm means that our work goes beyond recruitment—we strive to empower our partners with top-tier leadership solutions that drive sustainable growth.

The conversations during the expo reinforced our commitment to delivering tailor-made strategies that align exceptional talent with visionary business goals.

Beyond the robust networking, SEA Expo proved to be an excellent platform for exploring new partnership opportunities and gaining fresh insights into the dynamic future of the industry. Every interaction enriched our understanding of where the entertainment landscape is heading and highlighted the integral role that innovative leadership and strategic talent solutions will play in shaping that future. We also held many meetings with engaging professionals who share our passion for Saudi Arabia and its Vision 2030.

We look forward to leveraging these new relationships and insights to support the growth of our partners and to continue our journey in discovering and connecting top-notch leadership.
