the challenge

After breaking a host of industry records in 2023, LEAP returned to Riyadh from March 4-7, 2024 with an even bigger, bolder and more disruptive format and went on to become the world’s most-attended technology event for the second consecutive year. The PR and communications activities of the event were once again handled by Action Global Communications.

LEAP 2024 attracted the world’s greatest digital thinkers, brands and pioneers to empower entrepreneurs, ignite innovation and propel Saudi Arabia’s technology ecosystem into new worlds. LEAP 2024 shattered benchmarks once again after confirming 215,000 attendees this year.

Powered by Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Communications and Information Technology (MCIT) in conjunction with Tahaluf – a strategic joint venture co-owned by Informa PLC and SAFCSP – LEAP 2024 also announced a record USD11.9 billion for new technologies, cloud computing and data centres in the Kingdom.
