Doha Twestival - The Details

Posted on: 11 February 2009 at 1603 - Comment

It’s just over 24 hours until the Twestival atmosphere hits Doha.

It has been a busy week setting up the event at the last minute but we’ve managed to put together a fairly decent event. Here are the details:

  • Date: Thursday 12th February
  • Location: Court Cafe
  • Time: 7pm - 10pm
  • Map: http://tinyurl.com/twestdoha

The event is totally free and is open to anyone who might have an interest and wants to meet new people all while raising some money for charity. Sandwiches, muffins, tea and coffee will be provided as well as free Wifi and loads of electrical sockets so that you can get online as well. We’ll be holding a charity raffle on the day with a few prizes donated by our sponsors and all proceeds going to Charity:Water. We’ll also be connecting with some of the other Twestival events that are happening in 200+ cities around the world on the same day.

This will be the first Twitter event of its kind in Doha and we couldn’t have done it without some help from our sponsors. 1000 Heads are the main sponsors of the Doha Twestival and it is thanks to them that we are able to run the event for free so that any money spent on the day will go straight to charity. Qatar Living are our seconds sponsors who have pledged to help raise awareness for the event on their community as well as donate some prizes for the Charity Raffle. You can follow both of the sponsors on Twitter - @1000heads and @qatarliving

So there we have it, Twestival Doha is all set up and ready to go. I look forward to meeting you all at Court Cafe :)
