About this event

What to expect

Sabtiah is a weekly two-hour AI builders’ meetup in Riyadh, combining open discussion with demos of real projects and experiments.

Taking place on Saturday 14 November 2026, from 2:00–4:00 PM AST, the session meets at Rafd Complex, Building 4, Floor 1, Al Malqa.

What to expect

The meetup follows a practical two-part format:

  • Hour 1, Discussion: Explore what is happening in AI, share what participants are learning and consider what new developments mean for people building locally.
  • Hour 2, Demos: Show 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.

This is a working session for people actively building with AI rather than a formal conference or lecture. Expect opportunities to meet others tackling similar problems, experiment together and put work in front of fellow builders. Conversation may take place in Arabic, English or both, depending on who is in the room.

Sabtiah (السبتية) takes its name from Sabt, meaning Saturday, following the local custom of naming gatherings after the day on which they meet. The community has met weekly since July 2025 and is powered by Cycls.
