As always, I’m especially interested in the smaller things that are harder to discover — developer meetups, AI communities, founder gatherings, workshops, hackathons or events mainly being shared through WhatsApp/Telegram.
If I’ve missed something happening in Riyadh over the next few weeks, send it my way.
