BilAraby Annual Gathering 2026 is a two-day programme of dialogue, workshops and shared learning organised by Qatar Foundation. The gathering brings Arab intellectuals, innovators and changemakers together through curated sessions, hands-on activities and open conversations.
BilAraby developed from the legacy of the TED in Arabic initiative. It operates as a multifaceted, internationally oriented platform focused on Arabic-language intellectual, cultural and creative exchange.
What the gathering includes
- Curated sessions presenting selected ideas and perspectives
- Hands-on workshops built around active participation
- Open conversations supporting dialogue and shared reflection
The wider BilAraby project addresses gaps in the availability of high-quality Arabic content and platforms that engage Arab audiences. Its work focuses on creativity alongside cultural and social transformation, informed by research and engagement with experts and communities.
The annual gathering may therefore suit participants interested in Arabic content, intellectual exchange, innovation, culture and discussion-led learning. Its combination of sessions, workshops and conversations offers more than a single presentation format.
