Women Spark Powered by PLAYBOOK to Host Women Shaping Wealth Summit 2026 in Riyadh on September 28–29

Riyadh, Saudi Arabia – September 28–29, 2026: Women Spark, powered by PLAYBOOK, has announced the launch of the Women Shaping Wealth Summit 2026, a two-day international event that will bring together 3,000+ delegates from 30+ countries, with 260 speakers across three stages and 60+ ecosystem, media and gifting partners.

Partners supporting the Summit include UBS, Saudi Awwal Bank (SAB), Alpaca, Jaguar Land Rover, Vista Equity Partners, World Bank, Strategy&, Araya Ventures, Tarmeez Capital, Vennre, Finbursa and many more. The summit aims to redefine the meaning of wealth by placing equal emphasis on financial growth, personal wellbeing, leadership, influence, and meaningful professional networks.

Positioned as one of the region's most ambitious gatherings focused on women's leadership and economic empowerment, the summit will create a platform for entrepreneurs, investors, executives, policymakers, wellness experts, and emerging leaders to exchange ideas, build partnerships, and accelerate opportunities for women across industries.

Unlike traditional business conferences that focus solely on finance, the Women Shaping Wealth Summit adopts a broader and more holistic vision of prosperity. The event is structured around three core themes designed to help participants develop both personally and professionally.

The Money in Motion track will explore topics such as investment, entrepreneurship, business growth, fundraising, and financial literacy. Wealth in Wellbeing will focus on health, longevity, mental resilience, and performance, highlighting the importance of wellbeing as a foundation for long-term success. The third track, Power in Networks, will examine leadership, influence, policy, and relationship-building, offering participants practical strategies for expanding their impact through meaningful connections.

Organizers expect the summit to attract a diverse audience representing multiple sectors, including startups, corporate organizations, government institutions, venture capital firms, and wellness communities. Through keynote sessions, panel discussions, workshops, and networking experiences, attendees will gain insights from global experts while connecting with peers who share similar ambitions and challenges.

Technology will also play a central role in enhancing the participant experience. The PLAYBOOK platform will provide attendees with personalized agenda planning, intelligent networking opportunities, digital mentorship pod registrations, and continued access to learning resources after the summit concludes. These digital tools are designed to ensure that the value of participation extends well beyond the two-day event.

The experience has also been carefully curated to reflect the summit's vision at every touchpoint. From streamlined registration and branded attendee kits to thoughtfully designed networking environments and premium hospitality, organizers aim to create an engaging experience that encourages lasting relationships and continued collaboration.

The Women Shaping Wealth Summit also aligns closely with Saudi Vision 2030, supporting the Kingdom's efforts to increase women's participation in the workforce, strengthen entrepreneurship, attract international investment, and position Riyadh as a leading destination for global business and innovation.

By bringing together influential voices from around the world, the event seeks to contribute to Saudi Arabia's broader goals of economic diversification, inclusion, and sustainable development. Commenting on the announcement, Wafā AlObaidat, CEO and Founder of PLAYBOOK, said: "This Summit is a defining moment—where Riyadh becomes the center of a new global conversation about women, wealth, and leadership. It's not just an event; it's a movement and a legacy that will last far beyond two days."

As preparations continue, the organizers are inviting sponsors, strategic partners, speakers, and industry leaders to participate in shaping what is expected to become a landmark annual platform for advancing women's leadership and economic opportunities across the Middle East and beyond.

The Women Shaping Wealth Summit 2026 will take place in Riyadh on September 28–29, 2026, bringing together global perspectives, practical insights, and collaborative opportunities that aim to inspire the next generation of women leaders while helping shape a more inclusive and prosperous future.
