Following the success last November of its inaugural event, Global Perspectives: On Africa<\/em>, CNN will hold the second full edition of its new events franchise in Doha, Qatar, in 2026.<\/p>\n

CNN will convene dignitaries, political and business leaders, and visionaries for Global Perspectives: In Doha<\/em> to discuss pressing issues around geopolitics, technology, media, and culture. On-stage conversations will be led by CNN journalists, with editorial content and news-making interviews from the event running across CNN platforms.<\/p>\n

In bringing the event to Doha, CNN\u2019s host partner is Media City Qatar, building on an established relationship following CNN\u2019s decision to launch a new operation in Qatar last year as part of the network\u2019s broader global and regional content strategy.<\/p>\n

\u201cMedia City Qatar is delighted to host Global Perspectives: In Doha<\/em>, reflecting Qatar\u2019s continued role as a bridge between the East and the West, uniting ideas and audiences that shape global conversations,\u201d said H.E. Sheikh Dr. Abdulla bin Ali Al Thani, Chairman, Media City Qatar.<\/strong> \u201cThis event marks yet a new milestone in our journey with CNN, reinforcing the central role of collaboration and shared perspectives in delivering \u2018Where Next is Made\u2019 for Media City Qatar and the regions shaping these discussions.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ellana Lee, Group SVP, GM APAC, & Global Head of Productions at CNN,<\/strong> said: \u201cGlobal Perspectives is an important new franchise for CNN, and an exciting platform from which we can explore many different subjects in different ways.\u00a0 Our inaugural summit in November was a fascinating blend of conversations and insights into Africa\u2019s role in a changing world.\u00a0 This time around we\u2019ll be using the prism of the Gulf and the Middle East to get into a range of topics of importance and relevance to the region and beyond.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a go-to news source for people who want to hear from leaders and visionaries, CNN is excited to expand our presence in the events space under the Global Perspectives brand,\u201d said Phil Nelson, Executive Vice President, CNN International Commercial<\/strong>. \u201cWe look forward to working with our host partner Media City Qatar, utilizing their excellent facilities, infrastructure, and network to bring this event to life.\u201d<\/p>\n

Expanding its events franchise by holding Global Perspectives: In Doha<\/em> builds on CNN\u2019s long-standing presence in the Middle East and Gulf, which includes a network of bureaus; CNN Arabic, the largest international Arabic language digital news service; a regional headquarters in Abu Dhabi, home of the daily broadcast of Connect the World with Becky Anderson<\/em>; and CNN Creators<\/a>, which launched in October 2025 from the new CNN facility based at Media City Qatar.<\/p>\n

More details on the speakers, program, and location for the event will follow in due course. People can register their interest<\/a> in attending. Global Perspectives was also present at the World Economic Forum in Davos in partnership with Uber, with further installments of the events franchise to be announced for 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
