AI & Tech Meetups

Sahaba Club tracks 63 meetups, 21 of them still to come. They are concentrated in Dubai and Riyadh, with 1 running online instead of at a venue. The next is NEXT Gulf on Wed, 21 Oct 2026. The recurring themes are AI, Conference and Cloud. 49 of them are free to attend. Most listings are events run by other organisations, gathered here so they are findable in one place; each links through to the organiser's own registration.
