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.

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.
