Each day, more technologies enable the practice of crowdsourcing to become more sophisticated and viable. From Airbnb for stays to BlaBlaCar and Careem in transportation, crowdsourcing and sharing economy companies have shifted behaviors in the marketplace for good. We are now in a prime position to lead the change in applying crowd principles to breakthrough opportunities to expand its reach and foster sustainable growth.

CSW // Riyadh is a day of Interactive Sessions, Panels, Workshops and Networking at the Marriott Hotel. It will be delivered in collaboration with Tam Development. Attendance is by invitation only, and you can apply here for a place.

About TAM

TAM is a platform that enables its portfolio of clients to co-define their challenges and then co-create solutions with far wider publics beyond their own employees, customer base or community of other known stakeholders. Rather than forcing massive standardized programs, they develop bottom up initiatives using the energy of positive thinkers and pioneers in their national and international communities.

They have successfully designed and implemented over 50 local and regional programs in partnership with 20 government and private entities in Saudi Arabia and the Arab region.

These programs engaged more than 50 million users through various platforms and impacted 500,000 participants. TAM is the go-to company for public engagement and activation that has been recognized by four international awards.

Speakers

Our speakers represent the intersection of industries that fuel the sharing economy – coming from Enterprise, Platforms, Non-Profits and Government.
