The Doha Forum 2026 will take place on 5 and 6 December 2026 in Doha, returning for its 24th edition under the theme "Redefining Global Trust."
Held under the patronage of the Amir of Qatar, the forum is one of the leading global platforms for policy and diplomacy, convening political leaders, policymakers and senior business executives to debate geopolitics, cooperation and economic stability. Attendance is largely by invitation, which reinforces its standing as a high-level gathering.
Why it matters to executives
Geopolitical risk now sits firmly on the boardroom agenda, and the Doha Forum is one of the few venues where executives can hear directly from the ministers and officials shaping it. For leaders with exposure to the Middle East and emerging markets, the discussions offer strategic foresight on the political and economic currents that move supply chains, energy prices and investment sentiment.
The forum's invitation-only character and the seniority of its attendees also make it a valuable setting for discreet, high-level relationship-building between government and industry.
