LEAP 2026 — Into New Worlds: The Global Tech Gathering in Riyadh

From 13–16 April 2026 in Malham, Riyadh (at the Riyadh Exhibition and Convention Center), LEAP 2026 gathers the global tech community under one roof — founders, VCs, corporates, startups, innovators, and builders from around the world. 

Expect a massive scale: hundreds of startups, thousands of global tech-brands, over a thousand speakers, and tens of thousands of attendees. LEAP isn’t just a conference — it’s where innovations meet investment, ideas transform into partnerships, and the future of tech gets shaped. 

This multi-track event covers the full spectrum of cutting-edge domains — AI, fintech, smart cities, health tech, creative economy, space, gaming, sustainability, future energy and more. Featuring deep-dive talks, startup pitch zones, exhibitions, live demos, investor-matchmaking, and networking galore — LEAP 2026 is where you want to be if you care about what’s next.
