Although the star of the film, Daniel Craig, will not make an appearance, Mr Gabriel said he will be hosting plenty of the film's technical crew.
The new Bond film, Quantum of Solace, is due to be released on November 7 and stars Olga Kurylenko as Bond girl Camille.
It is Mr Craig's second time in the role as the secret agent and, with most of the filming complete, it is now up to the technical masterminds to polish off the finished piece ready for the cinemas.
The sound will be put to the 22nd Bond film by production sound mixer Chris Munroe.
Along with Eddy Joseph, Mike Prestwood Smith, Martin Cantwell, and Mark Taylor, Mr Munro won the BAFTA award for Best Sound in the last Bond film, Casino Royale, at the 2007 awards event.

The studio, which has welcomed stars such as Shirley Bassey, Tom Jones, Oasis and Starsailor in the past, has decided to offer its state-of-the-art recording facilities to the film industry, to polish off sound effects for movies.
The recording studios in Mill Lane are thought to be favoured by such big names because of the tranquil and private surroundings of Box.
Mr Gabriel said: "We're doing some partnerships with the film industry and we've got equipment here to be able to mix their sound.
"The sound for the latest James Bond film will be done here so that's a great avenue to be able to branch out into.
"I doubt any of the actors will be around but we'll have plenty of crew here and the director might pop in but that's as high profile as it will get."
Recently the studio has had new band Hot Chip recording there and singer Sade.
Although staff at the studio were unable to give exact dates for the Bond crew's visit to Box they confirmed that it would be this summer, ready for the film's release on October 31.
