AMCHAM SAUDI ARABIA LEAP RECEPTION
August 31, 2026
Riyadh
Nearly 100 members joined us at Day One of the LEAP conference for a breakfast reception hosted by the AmCham Saudi Arabia Technology Committee, chaired by Tala Alem (Google). The event brought together some of AmCham's most innovative thinkers to break bread and exchange ideas against the backdrop of a panel discussion centering on the ways in which security and cyber resilience are helping to shape the future of AI in the Kingdom.
U.S. Mission Chargée d'Affaires Jennifer Larson was in attendance to deliver opening remarks, and the panel discussion, Securing Tomorrow: How Cyber-Resilience Is Shaping Saudi Arabia's AI Future, was moderated by Board Chairman Darrell McGraw (PwC) and featured panelists Ali Zubayd (Digital Government Authority), Sultan Al Tukheim (Google), and Ali Haidar (Microsoft).
This event would not have been possible without our title sponsors, Google and Microsoft, and gold sponsor Iron Mountain. We deeply appreciate their generosity in bringing this event together.
