Wellbeing that works

Holistic Health Middle East is a one-day summit convening leaders from healthcare, business, government, and innovation to shape the future of whole-person wellbeing.

Despite medical advances and unprecedented convenience, health outcomes are stalling. 


Across the Gulf, rates of poor sleep, inactivity, burnout, and mental health challenges remain pervasive. The cost is measured not only in productivity, but in human potential.


This summit addresses health in its full context - physical, mental, emotional, and social - through a science-based, systems-level lens.


Next October in Riyadh, more than 150 senior decision-makers will gather to exchange insight, design solutions, and forge partnerships that move wellbeing from aspiration to practice.

Holistic in approach

Holistic in approach

Holistic in approach

We address health in its full dimension - physical, mental, emotional, relational, and structural. Whole-person wellbeing, grounded in science rather than slogans.

Holistic in audience

Holistic in approach

Holistic in approach

We convene leaders across healthcare, business, policy, HR, fitness, and mental health. Because lasting wellbeing is forged between sectors, not confined within them.

Holistic in intent

Holistic in approach

Holistic in intent

We go beyond wellness theatre and perks. This is cultural repair - redesigning systems that erode health. Productivity may follow, but it is secondary, not the goal.

Sponsorship

Next October in Riyadh, 150+ senior leaders from HR, healthcare, government, and innovation will gather to define the future of wellbeing. 


Sponsorship places your organisation at the centre of this dialogue.
