Many people may not have even heard of Doha until recently, but this tiny Gulf capital is quickly establishing itself on the global cultural scene.

I’ve been meaning for some time to post about the fabulous Doha Tribeca Film Festival that takes place in Doha each autumn, but in the meanwhile the Doha Film Institute (DFI) has announced some exciting news today that globally-minded creative types out there might find very worthwhile.

Starting next April 16, 2012, DFI will be hosting a three-day event called TEDxWWW - WWW standing for “worldwide workshop.” It’s an exclusive event where members of the international TEDx community and members of the TED team will get together to connect, share ideas, and brainstorm bigger and better ways of bringing the creative spirit and energy of TEDx gatherings to an even wider audience.

If you’re familiar with TED but not TEDx, check out their homepage here and learn how you can host your own independently organized TED event in your community.
