LEAP 2026 — Riyadh
LEAP 2026 gathers founders, enterprises, investors and governments in Riyadh for one of the largest technology events anywhere. Tripy carries the stages, speakers, reasons to attend and pass options, plus everything you need to build the trip around it.
Stages and themes
The programme spans AI and data, cloud and infrastructure, fintech, health tech, gaming and the creator economy, with keynotes, panels and hands-on sessions running in parallel across multiple stages. The scale is the point — and it is also why deciding which stages you care about before you arrive changes the value of the trip.
Who attends and why
LEAP draws enterprise buyers, public-sector programmes, regional investors and a large founder community, which makes it a practical week for raising, hiring, partnerships and market entry into Saudi Arabia. Startups use it to meet distribution partners; enterprises use it to compress a quarter of vendor meetings into a few days.
Passes and planning
Pass tiers differ by stage access, networking and hospitality, and each is listed with what it includes. Around the event, Tripy handles the rest of the trip — flights and hotels, a travel eSIM so your phone works on arrival, and experiences for the evenings and the days either side.
Travel and timing in Riyadh
LEAP fills the city's hotels, so book rooms and flights as early as the dates are confirmed and allow generous transfer times between venue and hotel during peak hours. A travel eSIM is worth arranging before departure — maps, ride-hailing and your digital pass all need data the moment you land.
