Qatar unveils official logo for ITU Plenipotentiary Conference 2026
Tribune News Network Doha The State of Qatar has unveiled the official logo of the International Telecommunication Union's Plenipotentiary Conference (PP-26) during a presentation delivered yesterday by the Communications Regulatory Authority (CRA) at the ITU Council meetings, held in Geneva from June 17 to 27. This milestone marks a significant step in the country's preparations to host the conference, which is scheduled to take place in Doha in November 2026. As ITU's highest decision-making body, the Plenipotentiary Conference sets the organization's strategic and financial directions for the coming years and serves as a pivotal platform to address global priorities related to spectrum management, digital standards, equitable connectivity and regulatory foundations of a rapidly evolving digital landscape. In partnership with ITU, CRA led the creative development of the logo to reflect both Qatar's national identity and the objectives of the conference. The final logo design was developed in close coordination with relevant national stakeholders and highlights Qatar's rich cultural heritage and its vision for a connected digital future. At its centre is a shell cradling a pearl, symbolizing the country's long-standing legacy in pearl diving and maritime traditions, while evoking notions of prosperity, beauty, and heritage. The pearl, also representing a central node, symbolises digital connectivity and the role of the conference in shaping the future of global communications. This element aligns with ITU's mission fostering digital transformation for all through international cooperation. The logo's colour palette illustrates this narrative by prominently featuring Qatar's national maroon, Al Adaam, complemented by ITU's Corporate Blue. Together, these colours form a visual bridge linking Qatar's national identity with the international aspirations of the PP-26 conference. The design also includes the number nine—a nod to the nine triangles on the Qatari flag—symbolizing transformation and new beginnings, in line with the conference's goal of charting the course for future digital policies and global infrastructure. The logo will serve as the primary element of the event's visual identity and will be used across all promotional and logistical materials. Engineer Ahmad Abdulla AlMuslemani, president of CRA and chair-designate of ITU-PP26, stated: 'The unveiling of the official logo for PP-26 marks more than the start of a countdown, it reflects Qatar's vision to lead meaningful global conversations on digital transformation. The logo embodies our national identity, blending deep-rooted heritage with a forward-looking ambition. Qatar stands ready to host the international community in Doha to shape the future of global telecommunications through strategic dialogue and collaboration towards a more inclusive and sustainable digital world.' Doreen Bogdan-Martin, secretary-general of the ITU, stated: 'ITU's 2026 Plenipotentiary Conference will drive forward critical global discussions that will shape our shared digital future,' said ITU Secretary-General Doreen Bogdan-Martin. 'The PP-26 logo reflects the bold spirit of collaboration between ITU and Qatar as we prepare for this milestone gathering of our highest decision-making body.' Hosting this event aligns with CRA's broader strategy to foster global digital collaboration, position Qatar as a hub for regulatory innovation, and support the development of secure and advanced ICT ecosystems. As the national regulator, CRA continues to align its policies with Qatar National Vision 2030 by promoting digital infrastructure development, regulatory leadership, and international cooperation.
