Geekend, Qatar’s premier pop culture event by Doha Film Institute, is more than just a celebration of contemporary culture. It’s a three-day immersive experience designed to inspire and connect attendees. From September 12 to 14 at the Geekdom Building on Lusail Boulevard, guests can enjoy a wide range of activities and attractions that showcase local talent and creativity. The event features floor activations, a Geekdom Market, games, an eSports tournament, competitions, stage programmes, and special events, all for the affordable price of QR20 for a daily pass.

Abdulla Al Mosallam, Chief Administrative Officer of Doha Film Institute and Founder of Geekdom, expressed excitement about the new edition of Geekend. He highlighted the diverse activities that will appeal to every member of the family, from tech and gaming to art and storytelling. The event promises to bring together creatives, innovators, and fans in a shared celebration of pop culture. The goal is to inspire energy and passion in all participants, creating a vibrant and engaging atmosphere for everyone involved.

The Geekend Lounge offers a relaxing space for visitors to unwind and soak in the atmosphere of the event. The Geekend Market provides a platform for creatives such as character designers, concept artists, and fan artists to showcase their work, interact with the community, and sell their creations. In addition to these attractions, the event features competitive board games, Geekdom Side Quests, games for all ages, and Majlis Shabab and GAG-run activities. An Escape Game, ‘Tokyo Mystery’, also returns for attendees to enjoy.

Gaming enthusiasts will be thrilled to participate in eSports tournaments featuring popular titles like Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, EA FC 24, League of Legends, and Rocket League. Winners of these tournaments stand to win fantastic prizes, including cash and vouchers worth over QR60,000. Geekend has partnered with Store 974, Snoonu, Raw’a, and Iloveqatar as the media partner to ensure a successful and engaging event for all attendees. The stage programme will include Karaoke nights, the Open Gaming Challenge, and events by Nakama, such as trivia competitions.

A new highlight of Geekend is the Snoonu Hackathon, where participants are challenged to create art based on a specific theme unveiled at the start of the event. The winners of this competition will be selected by a panel, adding an element of competition and creativity to the already-packed lineup of activities. With a variety of experiences catering to different interests and age groups, Geekend promises to be a must-attend event for those looking to immerse themselves in the vibrant world of pop culture and creativity in Qatar.
