Jeddah is set to host the Workforce Strategy & Leadership Conference 2026, a one-day gathering for senior human resources, talent, and learning-and-development leaders. The invitation-only event takes place on 22 October 2026 at the Jeddah Marriott Hotel on Madinah Road, with sessions running from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Organized by Exito Media Concepts, the conference is expected to welcome more than 200 senior HR and talent leaders. It runs under the theme “Harnessing Talent, Shaping Culture, Driving Impact,” placing the focus on how organizations attract, develop, and retain their people while building stronger workplace cultures.
Attendance is free, but registration is required and the event is limited to invited professionals. The single-day format is designed to bring decision-makers together in one setting for focused discussions on the challenges and opportunities shaping the modern workforce.
Why it matters
As companies across the Kingdom continue to invest in talent and workplace development, events like this give HR and leadership professionals a dedicated space to exchange ideas and compare practices. For the Jeddah business community, hosting a conference of this scale reinforces the city’s growing role as a hub for professional gatherings and knowledge sharing.
Interested professionals should note that attendance is by invitation and subject to registration ahead of the event date.
