Doha, Qatar - Web Summit Qatar announced today that Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin, and Mozilla CEO Laura Chambers will headline its 2025 technology conference in Doha.

The event, scheduled for February 23-26 at the Doha Exhibition and Convention Centre (DECC), aims to attract more than 15,000 attendees following its inaugural 2024 gathering.

Ohanian, currently Founder and General Partner at Seven Seven Six venture capital firm, will discuss his journey from Reddit, which now has a market capitalization exceeding $25 billion, to his current role in early-stage investments.

Seven Seven Six's portfolio includes Angel City Football Club, podcast platform Riverside, MrBeast's snack brand Feastables, and rocket developer Stoke Space.

Saverin, who now leads investment firm B Capital, will address technology advancement opportunities in the Gulf Cooperation Council region. 

He believes it has the potential to lead in cutting-edge technologies despite current limitations in deep tech investment.

Chambers, whose company Mozilla recently celebrated the 20th anniversary of the Firefox browser, will speak about open internet values and emerging technologies, including privacy-preserving advertising and AI ethics.

Additional speakers include Dow Jones CEO Almar Latour, Deep Space Initiative founder Sara Sabry, Paramount Pictures CEO Brian Robbins, New York Times Global Chief Advertising Officer Joy Robins, Under Armour Chief Product Officer Yassine Saidi, Cerebras Systems Co-founder & CEO Andrew Feldman, and B Capital Co-founder and Co-CEO Raj Ganguly.

Web Summit CEO Paddy Cosgrave emphasized that speakers will share expertise on building impactful companies and driving inclusive innovation, particularly in the venture capital space.
