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.

“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.
