A huge thank you to all the companies and individuals who have secured their tables and tickets. We look forward to welcoming you for an exceptional evening celebrating the strength of the UK–Qatar business community.

A fabulous three-course dinner and free-flow drinks from arrival until 11pm.

A familiar favourite is returning to the Winter Ball on November 05 for 2026!

Among the many things we have to look forward at our BCCQ Winter Ball this Thursday, we know there will be plenty of guests from last year who will be delighted to hear that Caravan Dreams are joining us again as our live band for 2026!

They helped make last year's evening so memorable, and we're looking forward to welcoming them back to the ballroom at Four Seasons Doha, for another fantastic night of live music.

Join us from 7pm for welcome drinks and live music, before heading into the ballroom for dinner, entertainment and an evening that promises to keep the celebrations going well into the night.

A year like this deserves a night like this.

It's been a year of change for many of us. We've navigated uncertainty, faced challenges, said goodbye to people and chapters we perhaps weren't quite ready to close, and continued to find our feet in a business environment that doesn't always make things easy.

For BCCQ, it's been a year of transition and a new chapter. And while the business landscape continues to have its good weeks and its difficult ones, we're proud to see our network growing stronger, new relationships forming and familiar faces continuing to show up for one another and for all of our new members.

But here's the thing about a business community: we're not just business contacts. Many of us have become friends. We share the highs, understand when there's been the lows, celebrate one another's successes and know how much a little time together can mean.

The BCCQ Winter Ball isn't just about networking (although we're fairly sure that will happen every time you bump into someone you know!).

It's really about enjoying wonderful food, free-flowing drinks, a fantastic band, a brilliant DJ and the chance to enjoy being together at one of Qatar's most prestigious hotels.

And if you weren't with us last year but have your ticket for 5 November, you're in for a real treat. We're delighted to have the same amazing band and DJ returning, and the food, hospitality and company certainly didn't disappoint last time.

As we head towards the end of 2026, let's take a moment to celebrate how far we've come, raise a glass to the people around us and look ahead to 2027 with hope for happier, brighter and more positive times.

Just two weeks to go until the BCCQ Winter Ball 2026!

Every November, the Winter Ball brings together members, partners, friends and the wider business community for an evening of celebration, hospitality and connection. And with just two weeks to go, we're looking forward to doing it all again for 2026.

From the welcome drinks' reception to dinner, live entertainment and the dance floor, it's an opportunity to step away from the working day, dress for the occasion and enjoy a memorable evening with the people who make Qatar's business community so special.

And you don't need to book a table of ten to be part of it. Whether you're hosting clients, bringing colleagues, joining us as a couple, coming with friends or attending on your own, everyone is welcome. We will take care of the seating arrangements so you can relax, enjoy the evening and meet new people along the way.

Host Your Guests at the BCCQ Winter Ball 2026

Looking for a memorable way to bring colleagues, clients or business partners together? The BCCQ Winter Ball offers an opportunity to do just that.

Taking place on Thursday 05 November at the Four Seasons Hotel Doha, the Winter Ball is the highlight of our annual events programme and an occasion for Qatar’s business community to come together beyond the usual working environment.

For our corporate members, hosting a table is an excellent opportunity to entertain valued clients, recognise colleagues, strengthen business relationships or simply enjoy a special evening together.

Table reservations have proven particularly popular for 2026, so if you are looking to join us for this special occasion and want to ensure you are seated together as a group, please contact [email protected].

With the arrangements taken care of by BCCQ, from the venue and dining to the evening’s entertainment, you can focus on welcoming your guests and enjoying the occasion.

The evening includes:
From 7PM, a one-hour welcome drinks reception on the Four Seasons Garden Terrace
A three-course dinner in the ballroom, with free-flowing beverages
Speeches, live entertainment and a raffle.
Followed by a DJ and cash bar from 11PM, as the celebrations continue until 01:00am

With black tie and ballgowns setting the tone, this promises to be a wonderful evening of hospitality, celebration and new connections.

Tables accommodate up to 10 guests. If you have a smaller group, a table of eight can be arranged on request, smaller parties can be seated with like-minded professionals from across the BCCQ business community.

With just two weeks to go and places filling quickly, now is the time to make your arrangements.

We look forward to welcoming you and your guests on 05 November.

LAST CHANCE TO JOIN US TOMORROW MORNING!

We’re ending our 2026 BCCQ Business Breakfast series on a good one!

Join us at The Ned Doha as we welcome King’s College Doha, a BCCQ Elite Sponsor, for a timely and feel-good discussion on Bridging the Gap Between Education and Industry.

As professionals, we have a responsibility to share our knowledge, pass on our experience and help prepare the next generation for the world of work. With technology transforming the workplace, how can we help today’s students navigate the opportunities and challenges ahead?

Two King’s College Doha students will join the discussion, sharing their own perspectives and aspirations while gaining the opportunity to connect directly with Qatar’s business community.

We’ll also explore what businesses can take back to the office and put into practice straight away — from mentoring and workplace experience to sharing industry expertise.

Because building Qatar’s future workforce is something we can all play a part in.

Monday 19 October, 08:00–10:00 am at Kaia, The Ned Doha

This is our final Business Networking Breakfast of 2026 before the series returns in January.

There’s still time to secure your place by booking through the link in our bio; Upcoming Events or scanning the QR code featured on the image below.

We look forward to welcoming you there tomorrow.
