Keynote addresses and lively panel discussions made the event an absolute spectacle.

Saad bin Ali Al Kharji, Chairman of Qatar Tourism, couldn’t have said it better: "The synergy between this event and the Doha Jewellery and Watches Exhibition showcases Qatar's vision of becoming a global hub for luxury." With Qatar’s luxurious infrastructure and exceptional hospitality, it's clear that the country is ready to take its place as a central figure in the luxury world.

Key Industry Figures Shine Bright

The conference featured a lineup of influential figures including HE Dr. Ahmed bin Mohammed Al Sayed, Qatar’s Minister of State for Foreign Trade, and international leaders such as Feriel Zerouki, President of the World Diamond Council. These thought leaders offered invaluable insights into the future of the diamond and gemstone markets, discussing everything from emerging trends to sustainability challenges.

"We're thrilled to have successfully organized this conference in just three months and look forward to making this a lasting tradition in Qatar," said Alex Popov, Chair of the DIDGC Organizing Committee, who also shared the excitement of executing this first event in record time.

Qatar's Strategic Vision: A Luxury Mecca

The goal of this conference was to present Qatar's larger plan to become a global leader in luxury, not simply diamonds and other jewels. Qatar is creating an alluring location for upscale conferences, exhibitions, and business events by fusing its rich cultural legacy, state-of-the-art facilities, and unparalleled hospitality.

Qatar Tourism is making significant investments in the MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) industry, and the DIDGC's performance demonstrates the nation's rising stature in this field. High-profile occasions like this one serve as more evidence that Qatar is about providing visitors with a world-class experience, not just stunning gemstones.

What's Next for Qatar?

The DIDGC appears to have a very bright future after such a fantastic launch. Qatar's position in the global luxury industry will only increase as long as it hosts conferences like this one and internationally important events like the Doha Jewellery and Watches Exhibition. Who knows? Perhaps the first of many memorable events to come is the 2025 Doha International Diamond & Gem Conference.

It’s official: Qatar is shining, and the world is taking notice.
