“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 at the MEO Arena 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?
