The Global Educational Exhibition of Development and Support (GEDS Expo) 2026, taking place from 24–26 September at the Jeddah Hilton Hotel, AlQser Hall, will serve as a premier platform for shaping the future of education, skills development, and institutional collaboration.

Designed as a high-level gathering for policymakers, educators, technology providers, and development organisations, the expo underscores the Kingdom’s growing role in advancing global education and human-capital innovation. GEDS Expo 2026 will spotlight emerging trends transforming the sector—from digital learning ecosystems and AI‑enabled classrooms to inclusive education models and workforce‑ready training frameworks. Exhibitors and delegates will explore how education systems can adapt to rapid technological change while ensuring equitable access and long‑term societal impact. A core focus of the event is strengthening international cooperation. Through curated sessions, panel discussions, and partnership forums, the expo will connect global institutions with regional stakeholders seeking to elevate learning outcomes and expand development programmes. The event also provides a strategic platform for NGOs, foundations, and government agencies to showcase initiatives supporting youth empowerment, teacher development, and community‑based learning.
