Women Shaping Wealth Summit to Be Held in Riyadh From April 6th & 7th

Women Shaping Wealth Summit 2026 will be hosted in Riyadh on the April 6th and 7th, bringing together founders, investors and operators for two days of discussions focused on capital, leadership and innovation. The event will be held at The Garage, the startup hub within King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology, which is home to more than 300 startups.

Organised by Women Spark in partnership with Playbook, the summit is expected to convene more than 3,000 participants and over 250 speakers from across finance, venture capital, entrepreneurship, policy and health. Opening remarks will be delivered virtually by Reema Bandar Al‑Saud, Saudi Arabia’s ambassador to the United States.

The agenda is structured across three tracks: Money in Motion, focused on finance, markets and entrepreneurship; Wealth in Wellbeing, exploring the links between health, longevity and economic participation; and Power in Networks, examining leadership, influence and policymaking. Sessions will include panel discussions, keynote talks, mentorship pods and closed-door networking circles.

Alongside the main programme, female-led startups will present at a live demo day, while dedicated startup pods and a founder marketplace will connect entrepreneurs directly with investors and partners. A stage for formal announcements will also host partnership signings and investment pledges.

The summit will conclude with a gala and awards reception on April 7th at Kimpton KAFD Riyadh, recognising women and organisations across business, investment and innovation. Tickets include access to both days of programming as well as a year-long Playbook Core membership, which offers ongoing training, mentorship and networking.
