LEAP is a high-energy, full-day experience uniting Lebanese and MENA executives, entrepreneurs, creatives, students, and families from across California and beyond.

LEAP is a high-energy social and professional gathering — a full-day experience designed to connect our community on every level.
It is the first step in building a long-term networking ecosystem born in California and reaching Lebanon and the world, strengthening our community economically, socially, and strategically.
You don’t come to LEAP to sit quietly and listen.
You come to connect, collaborate, and belong.
Through curated profession-activated rooms, industry-focused gatherings, dynamic talks, workshops, networking sessions, live entertainment, and immersive, fun experiences — including a dedicated AI-driven children’s space led by Mini Studio — the day is designed to spark real relationships and meaningful momentum.
You’ll walk in at 9:30 AM ready to dive in.
You’ll leave having met collaborators, investors, job opportunities, new friends, and prominent faces from across our community.
Whatever your background or journey, you will find your people.
LEAP is where our community meets — socially, professionally, and powerfully.
Join us on May 9.
