(Detailed timing and session information will be available soon)
Join us to open MongoDB.local Riyadh with a bold look at where data, applications, and AI are heading and what it means for organizations across the Kingdom. As Saudi Arabia accelerates its digital transformation under Vision 2030, the ability to build fast, flexible, and intelligent applications has never mattered more. In this keynote, hear directly from MongoDB leadership on how the world's most ambitious companies are rearchitecting their data foundations to move faster, scale globally, and unlock generative AI at the application layer. This session sets the stage for the day: why document-based, developer-first data platforms are becoming the default choice for modern enterprises, and how MongoDB is investing in the region to support that shift. Whether you're a developer, architect, or business leader, you'll leave with a clear picture of the opportunity ahead and how to seize it.

MongoDB is evolving fast and this session brings you up to speed. Get a guided tour of the latest platform innovations, from advances in MongoDB Core, Atlas and Vector Search to new capabilities in performance, security, and developer productivity. More importantly, we'll go beyond the feature list to answer the question that matters most: why does this matter for you? Each announcement will be grounded in real business impact: faster time to market, lower total cost of ownership, stronger AI-readiness, and simplified operations at scale. If you're planning your next architecture decision, evaluating a modernization initiative, or exploring how to bring AI into production, this session gives you the latest tools in the MongoDB ecosystem and a clear view of the roadmap ahead. Come away knowing exactly which new capabilities to explore first and how to put them to work.
Nothing tells the MongoDB story better than the organizations living it. In this session, hear directly from customers and partners across Saudi Arabia who have put MongoDB at the core of their most critical applications and the outcomes that followed. From faster development cycles and lower infrastructure costs to entirely new AI-powered experiences, these are real, local case studies of transformation in action. You'll hear firsthand how leading KSA enterprises tackled challenges like legacy modernization, scalability under massive growth, and building for an AI-first future and the measurable business value they achieved along the way. This is your chance to learn from peers who've already walked the path, ask questions relevant to your own environment, and take home practical lessons you can apply immediately, whatever industry or use case you're working in.

Ready to go beyond the headlines? This session picks up where the morning's Product Announcements keynote left off, taking you deeper into MongoDB's newest capabilities with live demos, real examples, and hands-on detail. We'll unpack how these new features actually work under the hood, walk through practical implementation patterns, and show you what "getting started" really looks like in your own environment. Whether it's new capabilities in Atlas, advances in vector search and AI workflows, or improvements to performance, security, and developer experience, this session is built for architects and developers who want the technical depth to start building right away. Expect fewer slides and more screen time — this is where the announcements become tangible. If the earlier session told you what's new, this one shows you exactly how to use it, with the practical detail you need to bring these capabilities into your own projects.
As AI systems evolve from simple prompt–response models to autonomous, goal‑driven agents, memory becomes a first‑class design concern. This talk explores how agents leverage context, short‑term and long‑term memory, and modern memory engineering patterns to reason, learn, and behave consistently over time. It also covers practical architectures and real‑world example of building reliable, stateful AI agents.
Financial institutions operate under intense pressure: sub-second performance expectations, strict regulatory requirements, legacy core systems, and rising demand for AI-driven customer experience, all at once. This session explores how MongoDB's flexible document model and distributed architecture help banks, insurers, and fintechs modernize with confidence. We'll cover how MongoDB supports mission-critical workloads like real-time fraud detection, personalized banking experiences, regulatory reporting, and core banking modernization: all while meeting demanding requirements around resilience, multi-DC/region availability, and data governance. You'll also see how MongoDB's native vector search is enabling new AI use cases across the industry, from intelligent document processing to conversational financial assistants. To ground this in reality, we'll walk through real-world implementations from financial institutions that have successfully modernized legacy platforms and unlocked measurable business value: faster releases, lower infrastructure costs, and new revenue-generating capabilities. Leave with a practical view of what's possible.
Telecom and media companies live and die by real-time performance — from network operations and customer experience platforms to content delivery and personalization engines, all running at massive scale. This session explores how MongoDB's flexible document model and horizontally scalable architecture help telcos and media companies manage explosive data growth while delivering the low-latency experiences customers expect. We'll look at how MongoDB supports mission-critical use cases like network monitoring and 5G/OSS-BSS modernization, real-time customer 360 profiles, hyper-personalized content recommendations, and dynamic pricing engines, all while simplifying operations across hybrid and multi-cloud environments. You'll also see how MongoDB's native vector search is unlocking new AI-driven capabilities, from intelligent content tagging and search to conversational customer assistants. Grounded in real-world implementations, we'll show how telco and media organizations have modernized legacy systems to move faster, cut costs, and build the next generation of connected, intelligent experiences.
You'll need your laptop to fully participate in this hands-on session.
AI agents need memory to maintain context across sessions, learn from experience, and handle long-running tasks. The challenge? Deciding what to remember, where to store it, and how to retrieve it when it matters. In this workshop, you'll learn a practical framework for architecting memory systems that actually work in production. We'll cover: Types of memory in agentic systems Storage patterns: Where to persist memories and how to structure them for retrieval Retrieval strategies: Combining vector search with metadata, recency, and other signals Memory lifecycle: When to create, update, or prune memories to keep your system performant You'll apply this framework by building memory into an AI agent and seeing how different design choices impact behavior.
