The organisers of LEAP have confirmed that LEAP 2026 will take place from 31 August to 3 September 2026 at the Riyadh Exhibition & Convention Centre in Malham in Riyadh.
The decision to schedule the event during this period follows extensive consultation with partners and stakeholders. It aims to ensure the fifth edition of LEAP continues to deliver the world class experience it is known for, including top international speakers, a strong investor community, and a global audience. The event will also continue to serve as a platform for showcasing future-defining technologies, sharing new ideas, and building meaningful partnerships.
Since its launch in 2022, LEAP has rapidly grown into one of the world’s most influential platforms for technology and innovation, bringing together hundreds of thousands of attendees, thousands of technology companies, and global decision-makers from almost every country.
The 2026 edition will continue to build on that momentum, convening founders, investors, policymakers, and industry leaders to explore the technologies shaping the future, from artificial intelligence and cloud computing to deep tech, gaming, and digital infrastructure.
“LEAP has always been about bringing the world’s most ambitious minds together to shape what’s next,” said Annabelle Mander, Executive Vice President at Tahaluf and Co-creator of LEAP. “Hosting LEAP 2026 through early September ensures we continue to deliver the global participation and world-class experience that our community expects.”
Further announcements regarding speakers, partners, and programme highlights will be revealed in the coming months as preparations continue for what is expected to be the most impactful edition of LEAP to date.
We look forward to welcoming our community to LEAP 2026 later this year, and to working together with our partners to make it the best edition yet.
