About this event

What to expect

Build, demo and discuss AI with fellow makers at Sabtiah, a weekly working session in Riyadh held every Saturday.

Taking place on 7 November 2026, from 2:00–4:00 PM AST, at Rafd Complex, Building 4, Floor 1, this two-hour gathering is designed for people actively creating AI tools, agents, workflows, prototypes and experiments.

Format

  • Hour 1, Discussion: Explore current AI developments, share what you are learning and consider what those changes mean for local builders.
  • Hour 2, Demos: Show something you are building, whether it is polished, half-finished or still blocked by a problem. Bringing a challenge for the group to examine also counts as a demo.

Conversations may take place in Arabic, English or both, depending on who is in the room. Rather than a formal talk with a published speaker line-up, Sabtiah is a collaborative working session where attendees can meet others tackling similar problems, experiment together and launch ideas in front of fellow builders.

Sabtiah (السبتية) takes its name from Sabt, meaning Saturday, following the local custom of naming gatherings after their meeting day. The weekly circle has run since July 2025 and is powered by Cycls.
