Supported by Qatar Calendar powered by Visit Qatar as its Official Signature Partner, the two-day debut on 9–10 October will bring together 70+ local, regional and international vendors and the wider trading card community in Doha.
Art of Cardz has announced CardzCon 2026, a large-scale convention dedicated to trading cards and collectibles, taking place on 9–10 October 2026 at Sheraton Grand Doha Resort & Convention Hotel.
Created and hosted by Art of Cardz, CardzCon will bring together collectors, traders, vendors, creators and hobby enthusiasts from Qatar, the GCC and other international markets for two days centered around collecting, trading and the culture surrounding the hobby.
Across the two-day event, visitors can explore an extensive show floor featuring TCG cards, graded cards, sealed products, sports cards, collectible figures, accessories, limited-edition collectibles and rare finds from local, regional and international vendors. The program will also include live pack openings, interactive experiences and dedicated opportunities for collectors to buy, sell, trade, discover new releases and connect with the wider trading card community.
CardzCon is expected to welcome more than 3,000 visitors through its two-day program, bringing together established collectors and long-time hobbyists alongside newcomers discovering trading cards and collectibles for the first time.
“CardzCon grew directly from what we have seen at Art of Cardz: collectors want more than a place to buy cards. They want to trade, discover, share knowledge and meet people who understand the hobby. The community in Qatar and across the region has grown, and CardzCon gives it a much bigger platform. Our goal is to build an annual event in Doha that collectors, vendors, creators and hobby enthusiasts from across the region genuinely look forward to.”
Abdulrahman Totonji, Founder of Art of Cardz and Managing Partner of SHIFT Group
