MEPRA to host Qatar Leadership Majlis in Doha

The Middle East Public Relations Association (MEPRA) will host the 2026 Qatar Leadership Majlis on 10 September at W Doha. Under the theme ‘The New Architecture of Influence,’ the event will convene senior leaders from government, business, media, and communications sectors.

The forum aims to examine how regional conflict, geopolitical realignment, economic uncertainty, rapid advances in artificial intelligence, and shifting media habits are reshaping how information is created, shared, and trusted across the Middle East. Discussions will focus on practical applications, such as the use of AI tools in communications planning and execution, as well as measuring organizational impact beyond traditional media coverage.

MEPRA Chair Justin Kerr-Stevens noted that the role of communications has evolved from merely controlling messages to helping organizations make better decisions and build trust during periods of uncertainty.
