Doha: Geekend, the region's premier
pop-culture event by Doha Film Institute, returns from October 1 to 3 at the
Geekdom Building in Lusail Boulevard, bringing together Qatar's artists,
creators, gamers, and pop-culture communities for three days of creativity,
connection, and shared passion.
This year's edition expands Geekend's
creative programming, placing Qatar's artist community at the heart of the
experience while continuing its signature gaming, cosplay, board game, and
community activities. Through its platform for artists, creators,
entrepreneurs, and emerging talent, Geekend reflects the growing contribution
of pop culture and creative expression to Qatar's wider creative economy.
Deputy Chief Executive Officer of DFI and
Founder of Geekdom Abdulla Al Mosallam said: "Geekdom was created to give
Qatar's creative community a space to connect, create and grow, and Geekend
brings that vision to life. What began as a celebration of pop culture has
evolved into a platform that creates opportunities for artists, makers, gamers
and emerging entrepreneurs to showcase their work, build communities and find
new pathways into the creative economy."
Across the three-day programme, Geekend will
bring together communities through dedicated zones including the Geekdom Café
and Geekdom Lounge, a main performance stage, and the Board Game Station
operated by Majlis Shabab. The Geekend Market returns with Qatari and
international artists and vendors, providing a platform to discover original
creative work while connecting audiences directly with the people behind it.
Competitive gaming and community challenges include the Catan Championship Regional Final, where the winner will qualify for the 2027 World Championship; Geekend Trivia, sponsored by Snoonu and hosted by the Nakama team; and Geekdom Games, sponsored by Store974, a fast-paced interactive gaming challenge on the main stage. Creative programming includes a live art workshop led by Salah Abu Idris, the Geekdom Draw-Off sponsored by Qatar Calendar, three Karaoke Nights, and Recruit Madness, a "Made in Qatar" live social board game.
