The Creative Summit, described as the Kingdom’s leading creativity festival, holds its third edition from October 3 to 5, 2026, in Jax District, Diriyah, in strategic partnership with the Ministry of Media.

The partnership highlights the value of closer ties between the media and creative sectors and their role in growing the Kingdom’s creative economy, as well as the importance of developing talent, encouraging dialogue and sharing knowledge among creative professionals.

This year’s tracks and sessions go beyond broad discussion to offer practical tools and actionable insights, with themes including artificial intelligence in the creative industries, sustainable practices, business development and new opportunities in the creative economy.

Creative professionals, investors, entrepreneurs, filmmakers and experts from Saudi Arabia, the region and the world will meet through panels, workshops and interactive experiences, exchanging expertise, building professional links and connecting Saudi talent with regional and global networks. Topics will span advertising, marketing, brand building, technology, design and content creation.

Jax District hosts the festival for the second year in a row, reflecting its continued support for local initiatives and talent and its role as a space where artists, designers, content creators and creative institutions collaborate and exchange ideas.
