Qatar Events Show 2026 Kicks Off with More Than 50 Exhibitors

Qatar Events Show 2026 kicked off in Doha at the Doha Exhibition and Convention Center, bringing together senior officials, experts and professionals from the events, exhibitions and conferences industry, alongside international associations, event organizers, venues, agencies, suppliers, technology providers and industry decision-makers.

Running until September 3, 2026, the exhibition is supported by the Qatar Calendar of Visit Qatar and has expanded significantly compared with last year. Exhibition space has grown by around 100%, while the accompanying conference program has doubled to include more than 30 keynote sessions, panel discussions and workshops, with participation from more than 50 exhibiting companies and organizations. The event is expected to attract more than 5,000 visitors.

Organized by Mangusteen, the business-focused exhibition provides a dedicated platform for professionals across the events industry through panel discussions, workshops, live demonstrations, networking opportunities and business meetings, supporting knowledge exchange, partnerships and new business opportunities.

The second edition comes amid continued growth in Qatar’s and the region’s events industry, as Qatar strengthens its position as a regional destination for exhibitions, conferences, business events and major international experiences. The sector is also witnessing rapid technological development, increasing use of digital solutions and artificial intelligence, and changing audience expectations.

This year’s conference, held under the theme “The New Events Economy: Scale, Complexity and Opportunity,” explores key issues shaping the future of the industry, including digital transformation, artificial intelligence, sustainability, creativity, major-event logistics, talent development, strategic partnerships and emerging business models.
