What are the benefits of Startup Sessions at Web Summit 2022?

Are you in the early days of your your founder journey, and in need of valuable advice? Web Summit’s Startup Sessions are a great place to start.

What are Startup Sessions?

Startup Sessions offer the founders of emerging tech companies and social impact startups advice for facing the modern business environment. These online business webinars are designed to help you pick up key skills and knowledge to set you up for success.

These Startup Sessions will take place on our event web app in the run-up to Web Summit 2022.

The small business webinars will run for 45 minutes, and will be hosted by tech industry leaders. Each host will speak on a pre-selected topic and facilitate an interactive attendee discussion for 30 minutes. There will also be 15 minutes reserved at the end for a Q&A.

Who can attend Startup Sessions?

All successful applicants to the Web Summit 2022 startup programme, and all startup ticket holders, can attend the online Startup Sessions. There is no limit to how many people can attend these startup webinars, and attendees can join as many sessions as they like.

A week before each class, startup founders will receive a link from their startup manager to register for the upcoming session. This can be shared with other valid ticket holders.

You can access the web app by entering your ticket reference number and following the prompts.
