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?
“Open source is the best way to get people’s brilliance out there.”
– Katharina Borchert, Chief Innovation Officer, Mozilla
“Advances in tech bring good, bad and OK things.”
– Rebecca Parsons, CTO, Thoughtworks
