Web Summit Qatar 2027, Doha

Web Summit Qatar 2027 is a technology and business conference organised by Web Summit in Doha. The organiser describes the event as returning to the Qatari capital, so this is not its first edition there. The 2027 run is set for four days, from 31 January to 3 February 2027. No venue or street address has been published yet. The audience is broad: founders and early-stage companies, investors, journalists and corporate partners from across tech and business. The programme pairs an exhibition floor with speaker stages that the organiser says span 32 industries. Around them sit curated meetups, masterclasses run by subject experts and access to Night Summit. The site also handles media accreditation as well as partner and exhibitor packages. A first, partial list of 2027 speakers is out. It includes Replit co-founder and CEO Amjad Masad, Dana Settle of Greycroft, Amal Dokhan of 500 Global, Omnicom chief executive John Wren, Kevin Mayer of Candle Media, Microsoft creative director Rodrigo Moran, Andrés Ordóñez of McCann Worldgroup and former Greek finance minister Yanis Varoufakis. Names such as Sam Altman, Geoffrey Hinton and Ursula von der Leyen appear on the site as speakers at other Web Summit events, not as confirmed guests in Doha. Prices are listed in Qatari riyals. The general attendee pass currently costs QAR1,995, cut from QAR3,195, and stock is marked as limited. It covers the expo, all stage content, meetups, Night Summit, masterclasses, partner perks and a downloadable contact file. VIP, at QAR12,995, adds catered food and drink, priority registration and lounge access, both in a dedicated VIP area and on the exhibition floor. The Chairperson pass costs QAR100,000 and adds fast-track entry, evening receptions, meeting rooms and the speaker lounge. Investors, startups and groups buy separate ticket types. No VAT note is shown next to the prices. For affiliates and media buyers the fit is indirect. This is a general tech and startup gathering, not a performance marketing show, and none of the pages checked mention an affiliate or marketing track. It suits teams building AI tools or software offers for the Middle East, and agency or media people who want time with regional investors, founders and large advertising groups such as Omnicom and McCann. The general pass, with its meetups and contact file, is the practical way in.
