Convene, the leading board portal software in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and across the Gulf, recently hosted a private iftar and Sahoor gathering to celebrate the holy month of Ramadan. Centred on shared values of culture and camaraderie, the gathering took place at the Mövenpick Hotel and Residences Riyadh to observe both Iftar and Suhoor during this special time of year.
The celebration began with an exclusive Iftar on March 3, where 75+ guests enjoyed a selection of traditional cuisine and candid conversations. More than a shared meal, the Iftar served as a cultural and spiritual commemoration of Ramadan, giving a moment for clients and partners to celebrate both tradition and collaboration. Distinguished representatives from leading enterprises in attendance included Sanabil Investments, Golf Saudi, Alimna Banks, Saudi Investment Recycling Company, Hassana Investment Company, Al-Soliman Real Estate, Bawan Company, Savvy Games, Bank Albilad Capital, NUPCO, and many more.
On March 5, Convene also hosted an intimate Suhoor — traditionally referred to as the pre-dawn meal during Ramadan. Over 50 guests took part in the gathering, where they shared meals and moments in an atmosphere of warmth and mutual respect. Beyond nourishment and preparation for fasting, the Suhoor served as a mindful period for the team and the guests to nurture the spirit and cultivate partnerships.
Alok Kumar, President for Middle East, Africa, and South Asia, shared sentiments on these special gatherings: “Ramadan brings people together around shared values of reflection, generosity, and connection, and our second annual gathering in Riyadh reflects Convene’s strong and accelerating commitment to the Kingdom. The increased participation from leading organisations this year underscores both the trust we’ve built and our growing leadership position in KSA’s board management space. As Saudi Arabia advances its transformation under Vision 2030, we are seeing a clear shift toward digital governance and more agile decision-making at the board level. Convene is uniquely positioned to support this evolution — combining secure, enterprise-grade technology with meaningful stakeholder engagement — and we remain focused on deepening our partnerships while contributing to the Kingdom’s rapidly evolving business landscape.”
Take a glimpse at the highlights of this year’s Ramadan celebration:
As Convene continues to expand its presence across the Middle East, the team expressed its appreciation for the stronger turnout than last year, which exceeded expectations. Across both events, attendees experienced the same spirit of hospitality and openness that extends beyond business.
These gatherings underscore Convene’s ongoing commitment to the region’s business community, reflecting a holistic approach beyond transactional services. Through innovative digital solutions, flexible hosting options, and thoughtfully curated experiences, Convene continues to evolve with the changing board needs while championing impactful engagement.
Looking ahead, Convene remains dedicated to continuing this annual tradition of strengthening relationships, building new connections, and celebrating shared values within the Saudi business landscape.
