“Where the future goes to be born” - The Atlantic • November 11 - 14 • Lisbon
Web Summit will bring together 70,000+ people, and the companies redefining the tech industry.
Join us in Lisbon this November.
What is Web Summit?
Politico has said we run “the world’s premier tech conference”, the Atlantic that Web Summit is “where the future goes to be born”, and the New York Times that we assemble “a grand conclave of the tech industry’s high priests”.
At a time of great uncertainty for many industries and, indeed, the world itself, we gather policymakers, heads of state, and the founders and CEOs of technology companies and fast-growing startups, to ask a simple question: Where to next?

Why will 70,000+ gather in Lisbon?
Three reasons: incredible speakers, unparalleled networking opportunities, and proprietary software that will maximise your experience.
We’re proud of our track record when it comes to live events. The Guardian called us “Glastonbury for geeks”. The Financial Times called us “the world’s largest tech conference”.
Experience it this November. Join us in Lisbon.

World-class speakers
Alongside tech’s leaders and innovators, we’ve gathered authors, athletes, actors and more to talk about how tech touches their industries. Our world-class speakers will take to the stage to share their expertise through inspiring talks, interactive Q&As, and masterclasses covering more than 30 topics.

Lead generation
We live in uncertain times for tech and business. At Web Summit, we welcome the people who are tackling the big challenges facing industry today. Our tracks cover topics ranging from deep tech and data science to design and environmental sustainability. KPMG said that, “in three days, [KPMG team members] made new contacts and collected solid leads that convert into valuable business relationships”.

Learning and development
In our current climate, upskilling has never been more important. Web Summit’s educational content, informative masterclasses and innovative roundtables mean that you can bring valuable skills back to your office – remote or otherwise. As Inc. Magazine put it, Web Summit “attracts a diverse list of world-class speakers, and facilitates content that inspires and empowers attendees”.

Discover Lisbon
In 2016, the city of Lisbon gave us an incredible welcome, and it’s helped make Web Summit a truly unforgettable event year after year ever since. Portugal is still our home and, in 2024, we will share it with the rest of the world again.
We can’t wait to return to Lisbon in November.
