Doha, Qatar witnessed the second edition of the MEPRA Qatar Leadership Majlis, an industry gathering for public relations and communications professionals. Over 100 experts from more than 40 organizations convened at W Doha to discuss how trust, resilience, and influence are evolving in the region. The theme, "The New Architecture of Influence," centered on the transformation of influence creation and the role of communication in this changing landscape.
Senior leaders from government, business, media, and communications shared perspectives on various topics, including leadership under pressure, Qatar's reputation amid geopolitical uncertainty, trust in the age of AI, internal communications and culture, and the role of events as influential platforms. A consistent theme was that influence stems from the strength of the organization behind the communication.
With AI reshaping information creation and trust, discussions highlighted the importance of verification, human judgement, and accountability. MEPRA Chair Justin Kerr-Stevens reflected on the event, noting Qatar's strong and confident communications community. The turnout underscored that the profession is increasingly operating closely with leadership, helping organizations understand risk, build trust, and navigate a complex, unpredictable environment.
Kerr-Stevens emphasized MEPRA's role in bringing together diverse perspectives across the Middle East, with Qatar playing a significant voice in regional conversations.
