The LEAP conference made a comeback to Riyadh to showcase all different kinds of technological discoveries, innovations, and progression by different companies. It also welcomes an important bunch of speakers and guest which has people flocking to meet them. This year’s conference is being held at the Riyadh Front Expo Center in Riyadh, from February 6-9. Many complained about overcrowding, poor crowd management, and struggling to enter the venue of this famous conference.

People were huddled around many different places of the exhibits


There was also a huge crowd at the Hektar stall

Hektar was distributing Abdulmajeed Abdullah concert tickets for those who visited their stall, and people were flocking by the masses. Abdulmajeed is quite the famous face in Saudi Arabia, and his tickets are known to sell out in seconds!

Many also complained that the crowding at the spot was poorly managed due to the heavy inflow of attendees. People were seen in bunches at the entrance, walking from the parking, and some even stuck outside due to the crowd.
