Where Saudi Arabia’s CX leaders shape what’s next 

From an idea to a CX movement

XE-Live KSA began as a focused gathering for CX leaders who wanted more than surface-level conversations. What started as a single event has grown into a trusted platform for the CX community in Saudi Arabia.

Each edition has built on the last, driven by strong participation, meaningful discussions, and tangible takeaways that leaders can apply within their organisations.  

Less theory. More real CX.

At XE-Live, you can expect:

  • Practical CX insights from leaders operating in Saudi and regional contexts
  • Live discussions on AI, analytics, and experience intelligence
  • Unfiltered conversations around challenges, failures, and lessons learned
  • Meaningful networking with peers shaping CX across industries

The next chapter of CX in Saudi Arabia

The third edition of XE-Live KSA on 10 February 2026 focuses on how organisations can move from listening to acting at scale. As Saudi Arabia accelerates its digital and service transformation, XE-Live 2026 will explore how CX leaders can stay ahead, stay relevant, and stay human.
