Organized by Tahaluf under the theme ‘We Build Worlds,’ the event supports Saudi Arabia’s gaming ambition, reinforces Riyadh’s growing role as a global events capital, and fosters the people shaping the business, talent, and culture of play.

The event will gather studios, publishers, investors, tools, talent partners, and ecosystem leaders and partners. It is expected to welcome over 20,000 attendees and targets more than $32 billion in gaming investments.

With over 500 tool providers and service vendors, Kingdom of Gaming will help participants discover tools and production support across the gaming value chain, and connect with developers, artistes, designers, and emerging talent.

The event will feature multiple sessions across business, technology, talent, and culture; industry reports and market insights from Saudi Arabia, MENA, and global growth regions; hands-on workshops with leading tools; and practical learning around studios, publishing, and investment.

For builders, Kingdom of Gaming will provide dedicated content, showcases, and industry-focused spaces to support business conversations. The Builders content is built around the forces changing how games are made, funded, published, and scaled. It will include various sessions, workshops, and conversations across investment, the AI ecosystem, publishing, talent, tools, studio growth, and the future of the play.
