Make the smartest decision for your business this year
This is an unmissable MWC event where the international digital community comes to activate strategic partnerships and conclude a year’s business in just a few days.
Last year, the showfloor sold out fast and sponsors gained the edge with a highly relevant audience. 2026 is another high-demand year – not least because PP-26 is co-located in neighbouring halls – and ITU Member and MWC Ministerial Programme delegates have unlimited access to the MWC26 exhibition and stages.
MWC Doha Where telco, tech and policy align
Do you have a commercial or thought leadership interest in MENA’s mobile economy and the tech innovation it enables? MWC Doha is purpose-built for you.
Last year was our landmark inauguration in the region, when the event series that connects the globe made first impact in the GCC.
They’ll be at MWC26 Doha
The biggest names in telco and the digital world are committed to Doha and the global connectivity leaders gathering here in November.

Ericsson is excited to see MWC Doha continue evolving into a strategic platform that brings together the region’s most influential technology, telecom, enterprise, and government leaders. For Ericsson, the event is an important opportunity to showcase how we are driving the future of secure, resilient, and high-performing connectivity across the Gulf and beyond.

A world-first co-location
For the first time, MWC26 Doha is co-locating with ITU PP-26 - the UN's highest policy-making conference for digital technologies – in one city, under one roof.
Telecoms strategy and policy for the next four years will be mapped out here, with PP-26 taking place alongside the premium MWC26 connectivity platform.
This is MENA’s event of the decade for connected technologies – bringing together tech, telco and policy in a powerful platform for action.
What leaders say about MWC26 and PP-26 co-location
In the halls neighbouring MWC26 Doha, telco heads and government officials will decide policy from now until 2030 – a milestone year for national visions in the GCC, MENA and around the world.
Hear from leaders of the organisations bringing you this world-first alignment, and what this means for telcos and transformation delivery partners.
Meet some of our 2026 speakers
Thought leaders from telcos, tech firms, startups and governments share top insights and reimagine what the connected world can look like.
2026 MWC event theme: The IQ Era
