Conference

Web Summit

Where the world's tech industry meets in Lisbon.

  • Nov 9–12, 2026
  • Lisbon, Portugal
  • In-person

About

Web Summit takes over Lisbon each November at a scale no other European tech event matches: more than 70,000 attendees from 160+ countries across Altice Arena and the FIL exhibition halls. It is less a single conference than a week-long city takeover where founders, Fortune 500 executives, policymakers and press negotiate the industry's direction — and where a well-worked booth or side event can fill a sales pipeline for the year.

Who it's for: Global tech industry — founders, investors, corporate leaders, policymakers
