The Doha International Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Security takes place at the Doha Exhibition and Convention Centre over three days from the twentieth to the twenty second of October, in the year 2026. The conference is run by Qatar's Ministry of Interior and is co-located with Milipol Qatar, the homeland and internal state security exhibition held in halls one to three of the same venue across the same dates.
The pairing is the point. Milipol brings the procurement side of the security market to Doha, while the conference supplies the policy and doctrine layer around artificial intelligence in law enforcement, border control and critical infrastructure protection. For executives selling into Gulf government security budgets, the two together are the most concentrated buyer audience in the regional calendar.
Artificial intelligence governance in security applications is an area where Gulf states are legislating ahead of much of the world, and a ministry-run conference is where the direction of that regulation is usually signalled before it is drafted. Boards with data, surveillance or biometric exposure in the region have reason to follow what is said there.
The Doha Exhibition and Convention Centre is the Qatari capital's main exhibition venue, in the West Bay district. Registration and programme details are published by the organiser. Executive Moves lists the event for calendar completeness and will update this entry if the organiser changes the dates or the venue.
