Saudi Arabia's largest technology event, four days across enterprise tech, startups and investment at RECC Malham.
LEAP is the largest technology event in Saudi Arabia and the centre of gravity for the wider region. The 2026 edition runs across four days at the Riyadh Exhibition & Convention Center in Malham, with doors open from 12:00 to 21:00. Expect an enterprise exhibition floor, a startup and investor track, and government-backed announcements. It is a broad, high-volume event: useful for scanning the market, less useful for depth in any single vertical.
