Creative Summit 2026 to be held in Riyadh's JAX District

The second edition of the Creative Summit 2026 is scheduled to take place from October 3 to 5 in the JAX District of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Operating under the theme ‘Behind every intelligence… a human’, the summit will explore the evolving relationship between human creativity and artificial intelligence.

The event aims to move beyond general discussions by focusing on practical tools for integrating AI into creative industries, achieving sustainability, and providing applicable business solutions. The summit serves as a platform to connect the Saudi creative economy with regional agencies and global market leaders, bringing together investors, entrepreneurs, filmmakers, and industry professionals.

Mai Salama, co-founder of the Creative Summit, noted that the JAX District serves as a central hub for the cultural and artistic renaissance occurring in the Kingdom. Aya Al-Bakri, CEO of the Diriyah Biennale Foundation, also highlighted the district as a growing community for leaders in arts, design, media, and crafts.
