Taking place from 13-16 April 2026
The fourth edition of LEAP brought over 200,000 people to Riyadh – from tech CEOs and founders to investors, startups and the world’s most influential technology companies. And in 2026, we’re going further.
LEAP isn’t just a stage for announcements. It’s where ideas turn into partnerships, technologies find the right backers, and the future of every sector gets a little clearer.
If you’re serious about where tech is heading – and your role in it – you’ll want to be part of what’s coming next.
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.
