Join the global tech community in Riyadh
31 August–3 September 2026, RECC Malham, Saudi Arabia
LEAP's global expansion started in Hong Kong this July, bringing the LEAP experience to Asia for the first time. 25,000+ attendees, 450+ exhibitors and 600+ investors gathered, connecting technology leaders, investors and founders from Asia and the Middle East.
Hong Kong is now confirmed as LEAP East's exclusive Asian host city for the next three years, cementing a long-term platform between the two regions.
LEAP 2026 marks a milestone. The fifth edition of a platform born in Riyadh and now shaping conversations around the world.
What began as a bold idea has become a place where ambition gathers, connections take form, and new worlds open. Five editions in, LEAP is no longer emerging. It is established, influential, and still moving forward.
This is where leaders return, partnerships deepen, and what’s next becomes clearer. Not to look back, but to take the next step Into New Worlds. Because progress does not stand still, and neither does LEAP.
You’re one LEAP away.
Now in its fourth edition, DeepFest runs alongside LEAP as the region’s most influential AI event and a meeting ground for the global artificial intelligence community and the industries adopting it.
From big tech and breakthrough startups to researchers, policymakers and enterprise leaders, DeepFest brings together the people pushing AI from theory into impact.
Less noise. More action. Real conversations, strategic connections and the insight to move things forward.
