EventMania Qatar to Bring B2B Speed-Networking to Doha on September 16, 2026
DOHA, QATAR - On September 16, 2026, the Qatar edition of EventMania will take place at the Marjan Ballroom, Swissôtel Corniche Park Towers Doha. The event is organized by Amara Group, which leads local market engagement and on-site production.
A Format the Event Industry Has Been Waiting For
EventMania is not a trade show or a conference in the traditional sense. It is a structured system of direct business introductions built around the Event Maze mechanic: 20 tables, each seated by an event organizer (buyer), while service providers rotate from table to table - 3-minute rounds, rotation triggered by a gong. In two hours, the format delivers up to 100 live meetings between suppliers and buyers, replacing the usual hours of unfocused networking with a dense, measurable outcome: real contacts and real conversations, not business cards in a pocket.
The day is structured as a single arc, from first contact to deal:
● 11:00–12:00 - Welcome & Expo Zone: registration, badge and rotation card, welcome coffee, Expo Zone booths
● 12:00–14:00 - Event Maze: 100+ direct B2B meetings in speed-dating format
● 14:00–15:00 - Stage Show: live performances by artists, presented as bookable showcases
● 15:00–16:00 - Show Event Marketing 360: TED-style keynote speakers, 8 minutes each, no fluff
● 16:00–18:00 - Open networking and closing
Who Is Attending
The event expects 150 guests: 100 event organizers, who attend free of charge, and 50 service providers, artists and speakers. This ratio is what makes the Event Maze meetings work for both sides - each buyer's table sees multiple suppliers over the course of the rotation.
“EventMania is business-matchmaking infrastructure built into the events industry. We remove the randomness from networking and turn a single day into the result that usually takes a whole season of cold outreach,” says Sergey Larin, founder of EventMania Global.
