LEAP 2026 brought together technology leaders, businesses, government representatives, innovators, and industry experts from around the world in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Held from 31 August to 3 September 2026 at the Riyadh Exhibition and Convention Center in Malham, the event provided an opportunity to see how technology is shaping the future of business, education, and communication across the region.
For PeopleLink, LEAP 2026 was an opportunity to meet with customers, partners, system integrators, and technology professionals and showcase how our video collaboration and AV solutions can make communication simpler, more connected, and easier to manage.
Inside the PeopleLink Booth H3.E80
Our booth at H3.E80 was built around a simple idea: “A2Z of Video Collaboration Solutions from a Single OEM.”Visitors could explore different solutions designed for meeting rooms, boardrooms, training spaces, classrooms, and hybrid work environments.
One of the biggest advantages we demonstrated was the convenience of working with a single OEM. Instead of combining products from several manufacturers and dealing with different systems, support teams, and compatibility requirements, organizations can build their collaboration spaces around solutions from one technology partner.
This approach can make it easier to plan, install, manage, and support AV environments as they grow.
Solutions for Different Spaces
Every collaboration space has different requirements. A small huddle room needs a simple and compact setup, while a large boardroom or classroom needs more advanced audio, video, and tracking capabilities.At LEAP 2026, we showcased solutions for a wide range of environments:
- Huddle Rooms & Small Meeting Spaces: Compact video collaboration solutions designed for quick and easy meetings with minimal cables and setup.
- Boardrooms & Conference Rooms: Professional cameras, microphones, and collaboration systems designed to capture participants clearly and create a better meeting experience.
- Training Rooms & Classrooms: AV solutions that support trainers and educators with video tracking, interactive displays, and high-quality audio for both in-room and remote participants.
- Hybrid & Work-from-Home Setups: Collaboration peripherals designed to provide a more professional communication experience for employees working remotely.
The focus throughout the demonstrations was simple: make technology easier to use while delivering a reliable experience for everyone in the room and joining remotely.
Conversations That Mattered
Over the four days, our booth saw a steady flow of visitors interested in understanding how modern collaboration technology can solve real workplace and learning challenges.The conversations were not limited to product demonstrations. We discussed the practical challenges organizations face when planning and managing AV environments.
Some of the key topics included:
- Easy-to-use meeting spaces: Organizations want meeting rooms that employees can start using without complicated setups.
- Better hybrid meetings: Businesses are looking for ways to ensure remote participants can hear, see, and participate in meetings more naturally.
- Clear audio: Background noise, room acoustics, and voice clarity continue to be important considerations when designing collaboration spaces.
- Simpler AV management: IT teams and integrators are looking for solutions that reduce the complexity of managing equipment from multiple vendors.
These conversations gave us valuable insight into what businesses and technology partners in the region are looking for as they modernize their communication environments.
What We Saw at LEAP 2026
The discussions and demonstrations at LEAP 2026 reinforced several trends that are shaping collaboration technology.More Connected Collaboration Spaces
Organizations are moving beyond individual AV devices and looking at complete collaboration environments where cameras, microphones, displays, and software work together.
Smarter Meeting Experiences
Features such as intelligent framing, speaker tracking, and improved audio processing are becoming increasingly important as hybrid meetings become part of everyday work.
Growing Demand for Digital Infrastructure
Saudi Arabia and the wider GCC region continue to invest in digital transformation across businesses, education, government, and other sectors. This is creating new opportunities for modern AV and collaboration technologies.
Building Stronger Partnerships Across the GCC
LEAP 2026 was also an important opportunity for PeopleLink to connect with distributors, system integrators, consultants, and other channel partners.For partners looking to expand their AV and collaboration portfolio, working with a single OEM can provide a more streamlined approach to solution design and deployment.
PeopleLink supports partners with:
- Complete collaboration solutions across different room types and applications.
- Pre-sales and technical support for solution planning and deployment.
- Product and solution training to help partners build technical expertise.
- OEM support throughout the project lifecycle.
- Opportunities to grow with the increasing demand for collaboration and AV solutions across the GCC.
We believe strong partnerships are an important part of bringing the right technology to organizations across the region.
