• A first for the region: Global Perspectives: In Doha will be exploring “The Invisible World” — the forces quietly reshaping how we live, and the businesses driving that change. This is the first time CNN’s live events series has come to the Middle East, and we’ve chosen the Qatari capital as a meeting point for leaders from the region and beyond to share their insights.
• Speakers: Qatar’s Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani will kick us off. Executives from TikTok, Orbitworks and AI company Humain will be joining CNN journalists throughout the day. Other speakers include Ari Emmanuel, executive director of TKO Group Holdings, Patrice Motsepe, President of the Confederation of African Football, and John Kerry, former US Secretary of State.
• Highlights: We’ll be here for every panel and one-on-one conversation to bring you the highlights and breaking news.
What do we mean by “The Invisible World”? We’re talking about the hidden forces quietly reshaping how the world works. From AI to supply chains, media, money and influence, power is moving in new and often invisible ways — and it’s already impacting your lives profoundly, whether you realize it or not.
The Gulf is increasingly at the center of this conversation, so it makes sense to discuss it all here.
How to keep ahead in a world in flux? How to capitalize on constant change? How to shape what comes next?
CNN’s first Middle East edition of Global Perspectives, held at Rosewood Doha, will put the big questions to leaders from the region and beyond.
Greetings! Welcome to CNN International’s third Global Perspectives event, this time in Doha.
Following Global Perspectives in Bangkok earlier this month, our live event series travels to the Middle East for the first time. In the heart of the Qatari capital, CNN journalists will lead conversations with a roster of regional powerbrokers and international industry leaders under the theme “The Invisible World” (more on that later).
Here we’ll bring you highlights, breaking news and a peek behind the scenes.
