DeepFest Saudi Arabia 2026 will take place from August 31 to September 3, 2026, in Riyadh. Now entering its fourth edition, the event focuses on artificial intelligence technologies, real-world applications and the policies shaping their development and deployment. Its core areas include generative AI, machine learning, robotics, automation, customer experience and large language models. The exhibition brings together global AI companies ranging from emerging startups to established technology providers, giving visitors access to products and solutions being developed for enterprise, government and sector-specific applications. More than 120 AI companies are expected to participate in the 2026 exhibition.
The event is designed for AI researchers, engineers, founders, product leaders, enterprise decision-makers, investors, policymakers and professionals responsible for implementing artificial intelligence within organisations. Its content examines both the technical and strategic dimensions of AI, including governance, ethics, sustainability, security and national AI strategies. This creates a cross-sector environment where visitors can examine how AI systems are being applied in business operations, public services and emerging technology platforms while meeting companies developing the underlying tools, models and infrastructure.
The four-day programme combines keynote presentations, technical deep dives, practical training, live demonstrations and workshops. More than 180 speakers are expected to contribute to sessions examining current AI development and deployment. The programme places particular emphasis on moving discussions beyond theoretical concepts toward practical implementation, while providing opportunities for networking between technology companies, researchers, government representatives and enterprise users. DeepFest is organised by Tahaluf and powered by the Saudi Data & AI Authority, reflecting Saudi Arabia’s growing focus on artificial intelligence, digital transformation and the development of a broader technology ecosystem.
