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.
