Discover why thousands of attendees loved it
Here's what our attendees have to say about their experience.
“The most inspiring, creative conference in the world.”
"Web Summit is a perfect illustration of the power of community."

“Coming to Web Summit is really an opportunity to peer a bit into the future, connect to it, and be part of it.”

“Web Summit is not just an event; it’s a dynamic ecosystem where ideas flourish, collaborations thrive, and growth opportunities abound.”

“I was impressed by the organization level and the access to investors”
"Partnering with Web Summit has been important - we get access to this amazing event, we have wonderful discussions."

“You have to be hungry and curious, and this is a place where you can come and sustain that curiosity.”

Almost half of participants, speakers, and startups were women which is amazing. The scale was big and they had a very well organized team.

“It's fantastic for me focusing on emerging technologies. Great speakers, great interactions with booths. Mostly high-quality content.”

“Right now I am in a happy place today at the Web Summit. I'm more happy than being on the field.”

“Better organisation, show layout, and vibe by far."

“It pushes your thinking beyond incremental improvements. Seeing and talking to people who are trying to define or redefine a category is really something unique.”

“Summits like this are really critically important.”

“Exceptional design thinking and quality of content. Being able to sit in the front row for presentations has been magical.”

“Highlights were chatting with Jillionaire, and seeing Akon speak about his vision and projects live”

“We’re planning on going to every Web Summit event from now on. Now, it’s part of our company’s journey. Web Summit events will forever be in our hearts.”
“It's much more diverse (thankfully!) than other conferences, and quite easy to make and follow up with connections in my small, relatively niche industry. It was really cool to see the different industries we operated in and how everyone approached their problems.”

It felt like the whole world was attending, so I wanted to be there. What I really like about Web Summit is that you have people from completely different backgrounds. Whether you’re a CEO, investor, startup or student, everyone is on the same page and ready to learn from each other.

“When you come out here you need a god damn break. Music, drink then get back to work.”

“Different because of the breadth of people. Best connection was a random guy building a new corporate tax tool because he hates the other tools on the market. He's an accountant. Liked networking, and meeting a lot of people that I know from before. Awesome event.”

Web Summit is an event that cannot be missed. Since we exhibited in previous years at Web Summit, our motivations were quite different this year as general attendees. It was important for us to be present as part of this ecosystem, and maintain – as well as create – new connections.
