QC Launches Official Website for FIATA RAME 2026

Qatar Chamber announced the launch of the official website for the 2026 Field Meeting and Conference of the International Federation of Freight Forwarders Associations (FIATA) for the Africa and Middle East Region (RAME). It also noted that registration for the conference and its accompanying exhibition is now open to local and international companies, with special benefits for early registration.

FIATA RAME, which was originally scheduled to be held this month, has been postponed and will now take place on 9–10 November due to current regional circumstances.

Held under the patronage of HE Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani, Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, the event is organised by the Qatar Association for Freight Forwarding and Logistics (QAFL) under Qatar Chamber, in cooperation with the Federation of GCC Chambers, and will be hosted at the Sheraton Hotel Doha.

The website provides comprehensive information on the conference’s theme, agenda, speakers, registration procedures, sponsorship packages, and exhibition participation. The exhibition is expected to witness strong local, Gulf, and regional participation, reflecting the organising committee’s commitment to delivering a high-level conference in line with the highest professional standards.

For his part, Eng. Ali bin Abdullatif Al-Misnad, Board Member of Qatar Chamber, Chairman of QAFL, and President of the Africa and Middle East Region at FIATA, said that the launch of the website marks a key milestone in preparations for the event, highlighting the use of digital solutions to enhance communication with regional and international stakeholders.

He noted that FIATA RAME 2026 will address key regional and global challenges, foster constructive dialogue, and promote strategic partnerships that support sustainable development and innovation. He added that the conference will serve as an important platform for exchanging expertise and showcasing best practices and successful initiatives.

Al-Misnad further stressed that Doha’s hosting of this international event reflects Qatar’s leading position in the transport and logistics sector, supported by advanced infrastructure and a competitive investment environment, reinforcing its role as a regional and global hub.

He emphasised that the website launch serves as an open invitation to Gulf and regional companies to actively participate in the conference and its accompanying exhibition, enhancing cooperation and integration across the logistics sector.

Qatar Chamber invited all companies and relevant entities to visit the website and complete early registration to benefit from the opportunities offered by this major international event.

FIATA RAME 2026 will bring together freight forwarders, logistics providers, policymakers, regulators, and industry leaders from across Africa and the Middle East for two days of strategic dialogue aimed at addressing common challenges, exploring future opportunities, and enhancing supply chain efficiency and sustainability.

A logistics exhibition will be held alongside the conference, featuring leading local, Gulf, and regional companies showcasing their products and services, while providing Qatari companies with opportunities to explore cooperation and partnerships across the region.
