LEAP is an annual global technology event in Riyadh. The 2026 edition runs for four days at the Riyadh Exhibition & Convention Centre in Malham and brings together the wider technology ecosystem across enterprise platforms, artificial intelligence, startups, investment and emerging technologies.
Why LEAP matters to enterprise leaders
Large technology events are valuable when they help leaders separate momentum from noise. LEAP puts major technology vendors, emerging companies, investors, researchers and decision-makers in the same environment, making it a useful place to compare how different parts of the market are approaching AI, cloud, cybersecurity, data and digital infrastructure.
What CREDO will be watching
CREDO is particularly interested in how organisations move from individual products to orchestrated enterprise capabilities: how security platforms create trust, how intelligence platforms improve decisions, and how organisations govern the growing intersection of data, AI, automation and infrastructure.
LEAP 2026 is expected to span more than a dozen stages and multiple technology tracks, with DeepFest running alongside LEAP as a major AI-focused programme. That breadth makes the event relevant not because every announcement will matter, but because the direction of travel becomes easier to see when the ecosystem is viewed together.
Event information
LEAP 2026 takes place from 31 August to 3 September 2026 at RECC Malham in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Visitor hours are scheduled from 12:00 PM to 9:00 PM on show days.
