From grassroots to growth

Web Summit events are defined by the diversity and inclusivity of our communities. We’re proud to team up with local partners and initiatives to contribute to our dynamic tech ecosystem.

What can Web Summit Qatar do for your organisation or community?

Web Summit Qatar is a global gathering where political figures, cultural icons and business leaders confront the challenges facing society.

Through a series of special ticket initiatives, we partner with organisations to bring people together to discuss key issues in roundtables, to network with like-minded peers, and to learn at our masterclasses.

We want to partner with nonprofit organisations to bring in new ideas, ensuring each and every one of our events is a diverse and equitable space for all.
