From 13 to 16 April, LEAP returns to Riyadh for its fifth edition; convening one of the most significant global gatherings of technology leaders, investors and innovators in the world today.
More than 201,000 visitors are expected to attend LEAP 2026, alongside over 1,000 speakers, 1,900 investors, 600+ startups and 1,800 global technology brands. Five years since its launch, LEAP has grown into the world’s most attended technology event, bringing together more than 688,000 participants, 2,480 startups, 6,200 companies and over 5,000 investors across four editions.
The platform has established itself as a launchpad for major announcements and partnerships. In 2025 alone, LEAP secured USD 14.9 billion in deals and announcements, contributing to an economic impact of USD 820 million from Riyadh to the world. As it marks its fifth anniversary, LEAP reflects not only scale, but maturity of influence, serving as a global convening point where technology strategy, policy direction and capital deployment converge in real time.
Why Attend
LEAP 2026 is structured to support breaking news and meaningful access. Dedicated announcement stages and scheduled release windows are designed to streamline coverage, while facilitated one-to-one interviews provide direct engagement with senior decision-makers. A purpose-built media lounge will host briefings and support on-site filing, enabling accredited journalists to move efficiently between announcements, interviews and live demonstrations.
Beyond access, LEAP offers proximity to the conversations shaping global digital transformation. From artificial intelligence and infrastructure to venture capital, mobility, gaming and digital policy, the programme centers on the sectors driving capital flows and industry change.
Who You Will Hear From
Global technology leaders including Dr. Lisa Su (AMD), Chuck Robbins (Cisco), Matt Garman (AWS), Justin Hotard (Nokia), Antonio Neri (HPE) and Tareq Amin (HUMAIN) will take the stage alongside Sir Martin Sorrell and Andrew Feldman of Cerebras Systems.
They will be joined by influential figures from global sport and culture including Javier Tebas of La Liga, Mark Bullingham of The English FA, Michael Williamson of Wrexham AFC, Fabrizio Romano and Chunkz alongside institutional leaders from PIF and Morgan Stanley, bringing together a rare concentration of global technology, capital and cultural influence.
Beyond the stage, the exhibition will host industry leaders including Google Cloud, Microsoft, Oracle, Huawei, Dell Technologies, SAP, Salesforce and Ericsson, reflecting the depth of enterprise, cloud and infrastructure leadership converging in Riyadh this April.
LEAP 2026 once again positions Riyadh at the centre of global conversations on innovation, capital and economic transformation.
