Doha Jewellery and Watches Exhibition (DJWE), held under the patronage of HE the Prime Minister and Interior Minister Sheikh Abdullah bin Nasser bin Khalifa al-Thani, yesterday announced the first details of its 2017 chapter, scheduled to be held from February 20 to 25 at the Doha Exhibition and Convention Centre.
The event is expected to feature well over 500 brands represented by 40 exhibitors from 10 countries. The exhibition is organised by Qatar Tourism Authority (QTA) and delivered by Auditoire. QTA works to facilitate the growth of business events in Qatar by working with, and empowering, the private sector to organise and deliver quality exhibitions and events.
Ahmed al-Obaidli, director of exhibitions at QTA, pointed out in a statement that identified in Qatar’s National Tourism Sector Strategy as a core sub-sector, business events play an important role in attracting the seven million annual visitors Qatar is targeting by 2030.
“DJWE is truly a success story in the broader history of business events in Qatar, as its organisers and exhibitors have been witnesses to the sector’s growth year after year, reaching the point now where it set for success on the global stage, with enhanced facilities, event organisation capabilities, and expanded exhibition space spread through world-class venues.”
Al-Obaidli added that a large-scale regional campaign had been launched two months before the exhibition’s opening date, with the aim of attracting visitors to the event from around the Gulf.
DJWE is the longest-running and one of the most anticipated exhibition in Qatar’s annual calendar of events and reinforces the country’s position as a premium business events destination. Plans for the 2017 edition of Doha Jewellery and Watches Exhibition will give outstanding local talent the chance to shine alongside global luxury brands.
