Hosted by Sabtiah

Sabtiah is a weekly, hands-on AI builder circle in Riyadh, combining practical discussion with demos of real tools, agents and prototypes. Taking place on Saturday, 31 October 2026, from 2:00–4:00 PM AST, this in-person session meets at Rafd Complex, Building 4, Floor 1, Al Malqa. What to expect The two-hour working session follows a simple format: - Hour 1, Discussion: Explore what is happening in AI, what participants are learning and what current developments mean for people building locally. - Hour 2, Demos: Share a tool, AI agent, workflow, prototype or experiment. Projects can be polished or half-built, and bringing a problem you are stuck on also counts. Conversations may take place in Arabic, English or both, depending on who is in the room. Rather than a formal talk, Sabtiah offers a collaborative space to meet people tackling similar challenges, experiment together and launch work in front of fellow builders. The name reflects a local custom of naming gatherings after the day on which they meet: Sabt means Saturday. The circle has run weekly since July 2025 and is powered by Cycls.

Hosted by ServiceNow

ServiceNow is bringing its AI Summit to Riyadh on November 4, 2026 — a complimentary, full-day discovery event designed to transform how organizations understand and implement AI. Hosted at the Fairmont Riyadh, this summit addresses a critical challenge: while everyone is talking about AI, most organizations still struggle to put it to work effectively. This event bridges that gap by showing attendees how to apply AI to real business problems and leave with actionable strategies they can implement immediately. What You'll Experience The summit is structured around four core components designed to provide both strategic vision and practical implementation guidance. The Keynote Session features ServiceNow leadership unveiling groundbreaking plans and revealing how AI is fundamentally changing the platform's capabilities. You'll gain insights directly applicable to shaping your organization's AI journey, regardless of where you are in the process. The Innovation Showcase demonstrates how ServiceNow integrates with any cloud, any data source, any workflow, and any industry vertical. This hands-on exploration helps you understand how to apply the platform to your organization's toughest challenges, with real-world examples and live demonstrations. Breakout Sessions throughout the day feature industry experts and ServiceNow partners sharing best practices, inspiring success stories, and tactical advice. These sessions are designed for different experience levels — whether you're just beginning your AI journey or looking to optimize existing implementations. The summit also emphasizes community networking, providing structured opportunities to exchange ideas, tackle implementation questions, and learn from the collective intelligence of the ServiceNow community. These conversations often prove as valuable as the formal sessions. The AI Control Tower Concept A central theme of the summit is ServiceNow's position as an "AI control tower" — a unified platform that brings together all your AI capabilities, data sources, and workflows across your entire business. Rather than managing disconnected AI tools and pilots, you'll learn how one platform can orchestrate enterprise-wide AI transformation. This approach addresses the common challenge of AI fragmentation that prevents organizations from scaling their initiatives effectively. Who Should Attend This event is designed for decision-makers
