Reflecting on Saudi’s LEAP conference

LEAP, the world’s most attended tech conference, took place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on March 4th – 7th, 2024. Xebia was proud to be a featured exhibitor and presenter in the official Google booth at the event.

Xebia team members were on site to discuss cutting-edge topics, including Google Cloud Best Practices, Data Platforms, Applied and Generative AI, Digital Product Development, and Cloud Migration with attendees from around the globe. 

While it’s been nearly a month since I had the pleasure of attending LEAP, I’m still processing how incredible the event was and how its come to symbolize the evolving national transformation of Saudi Arabia.

Hosted amidst the bustling energy of Riyadh, it brought together forward-thinkers, innovators, and industry leaders to explore the boundless opportunities for growth and collaboration in the Kingdom’s evolving business ecosystem. As I reflect on the event’s impact, it’s clear that our journey in Saudi Arabia holds immense promise for Xebia, and all participants alike.

From brilliant keynotes to insightful panel discussions, LEAP provided a platform for exchanges and meaningful connections. The event showcased the remarkable strides that Saudi Arabia has made in fostering entrepreneurship and innovation. With bold initiatives like Vision 2030 driving economic diversification and technological advancement, the Kingdom has emerged as a beacon of opportunity for businesses worldwide. LEAP celebrates these achievements and delves into the strategies and best practices for capitalizing on them. Moreover, the event served as a testament to the spirit of collaboration that defines our approach to business. We had the privilege of connecting with local partners, government officials, commercial giants and visionary startups, all united by a shared commitment to driving positive change and innovation. These connections are instrumental in expanding our footprint in Saudi Arabia and nurturing long-term relationships built on trust, integrity, and mutual respect.
