Riyadh will host more than 3,000 participants and 250 speakers at the Women Shaping Wealth Summit 2026, a two-day event focused on capital, investment, entrepreneurship and women’s influence in economic decision-making.
Organised by women’s leadership and career development platform PLAYBOOK, the summit will take place on September 28–29. It will bring together female founders, investors, executives, policymakers and innovators from Saudi Arabia, the wider GCC and international markets.
The programme will cover three tracks: Money in Motion, focused on finance, entrepreneurship and capital; Wealth in Wellbeing, exploring health, longevity and performance; and Power in Networks, examining leadership, influence and policy.
For founders, the event will include a Live Demo Day connecting female entrepreneurs with investors, alongside startup showcases, curated networking, mentorship and peer sessions.
HRH Ambassador Reema Bandar Al-Saud, Saudi Arabia’s Ambassador to the United States, is scheduled to deliver virtual opening remarks. The summit will also feature a Pledges for Progress platform, strategic partnerships and memorandum of understanding signings intended to support follow-up commitments after the event.
According to PLAYBOOK, the summit aims to turn conversations around women’s economic participation into investor relationships, business opportunities, partnerships and measurable commitments.
