Youth Arabia Forum 2025 set to ignite youth engagement and creativity in Riyadh

Riyadh, KSA – 23 June 2025 — As Saudi Arabia accelerates its transformation under Vision 2030, the first-ever Youth Arabia Forum 2025 will bring together Gen Z leaders, content creators, and brands to spotlight and amplify youth voices shaping the Kingdom’s future. 

Organised by NordStella, a community-driven leader in experience-led content platforms, the forum will take place on 24-25 June 2025 at Beast House, Riyadh.  The landmark event is a youth-powered forum designed to drive discussions around empowerment, advocacy, creativity, and next-generation engagement across the creative industry and other sectors. 

With around 71% of Saudi Arabia’s population consisting of millennials and Gen Z, the Youth Arabia Forum is a timely response to the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 goal of unleashing the full potential of its youth. The forum will bring together 250+ brands, marketers, content creators, and rising changemakers for two days of trailblazing conversations, vibrant showcases, and real connections.

“In a country transforming at unprecedented speed, the next generation is emerging as the architects of national progress. Saudi Arabia’s future is being written by its youth. At NordStella, we aim to offer platforms that help turn their creativity, vision, and energy into lasting impact,” said Sahar Rafique, Managing Director of NordStella. “The Youth Arabia Forum is a movement aligned with Vision 2030, and a space where changemakers, marketers, and creators can co-author what’s next.”

With Saudi Arabia’s digital content market expected to reach $5.3 billion by 2030, the Youth Arabia Forum aims to be a cornerstone for conversations and collaborations that define tomorrow. Attendees can immerse themselves in four high-impact tracks:

The event will kickstart with hearing from Saudi’s youngest influencer, Rateel AlShehri, sharing her thoughts on what brands can learn from the next generation of creators, followed by over 15 sessions spanning across 2 days. The agenda includes over 35 powerhouse speakers across multiple tracks:
