Why did 15,000+ people gather in Qatar?

Three reasons: incredible speakers eager to share expertise, unparalleled networking opportunities with entrepreneurs, and proprietary software that maximises your experience.

Web Summit Qatar helps to connect a new generation of founders in the Middle East to investors, journalists, customers, partners and more around the world, and represents a new opportunity to develop an already fast-growing tech scene in the region.

Join us in Doha next February.

Networking

CGTN has said that “Web Summit brings together the people and companies redefining the global tech industry”.

Experts in every field attend Web Summit Qatar alongside thousands of tech enthusiasts. Join them in Doha to share ideas with others in your industry, meet your future business partner, or seek advice from people who’ve done it all before.

Lead generation

We live in uncertain times, and the worlds of politics, tech and business have become more entwined than ever.

At Web Summit Qatar, we welcome the people trying to make a difference in their industries. Our attendees are entrepreneurs, leaders and dreamers. You never know who you might meet, what deals you could make, or what new contact could come in handy…

Learning and development

In the current global climate, upskilling has never been more important. Web Summit Qatar’s educational stage talks, informative masterclasses and innovative roundtables enable attendees to expand their professional skillsets and bring valuable information back to the office.

As Inc. Magazine put it, Web Summit events “facilitate content that inspires and empowers attendees”.
