WSJ Tech: Qatar
Where technology and investment leaders meet to shape what comes next.
Qatar is home to the only edition of WSJ Tech outside the United States, brought to Doha through the country’s strategic partnership with Dow Jones.
What Is WSJ Tech: Qatar?
The Wall Street Journal’s leading technology event
WSJ Tech is the Wall Street Journal’s invitation-only gathering of executives, founders, investors, and innovators who are shaping the future of global technology, business, and economic trends. Held annually in two locations, Napa Valley and Doha, the event spans multiple days of highly curated programming.
Inside the Program
Unscripted conversations
On-the-record interviews with leaders across technology, sport, media, and finance that address the central themes of each edition. Previous discussions have included AI adoption, energy infrastructure, cyber security, and the future of entertainment.
Direct networking access
Structured time with fellow executives, investors, attendees, and speakers that is designed to build meaningful connections that can lead to new ideas, partnerships, and opportunities well after the event.
Opportunities beyond the conference
Dow Jones offers curated offsite programming that takes participants beyond the venue and into the host city, creating space to connect with peers, recharge, and experience the setting around them.
Why WSJ Tech: Qatar?
WSJ Tech: Qatar is a gathering of the world’s most influential executives, leaders, and globally recognisable names. The event connects its global community with the country’s cultural, business, and innovation landscape.
The 2026 edition, taking place in Doha from 30 November to 2 December 2026, offers attendees a unique way to experience both WSJ Tech and the State of Qatar.
Doha as a host city
Doha combines global connectivity and modern infrastructure with a distinct cultural identity, bringing business, technology, culture, and major international events into close proximity.
Experiences beyond the stage
From the main stage to the Paddock Club, and from the city to the desert, the program has included Formula 1®, exclusive desert experiences, curated excursions, private receptions, and evenings under the stars.
A meeting point between regions
Qatar connects regional expertise with global leaders, investors, and businesses.
Innovation built into the national agenda
Qatar National Vision 2030 and the Third National Development Strategy place technology, innovation, and economic diversification at the centre of the country’s next stage of growth.
A relationship that extends beyond the event
Dow Jones operates from Media City Qatar, strengthening its presence across the Middle East and North Africa.
