Once you’re at the event, you could be assigned a role in anything from media to operations, with tons of other options in between.

We’ll try our best to accommodate your interests so that everyone benefits from your involvement in Web Summit.

Gain valuable experience
Volunteering at Web Summit is an opportunity to dip your toes into roles that you might not normally get to experience. We can help you find a volunteering role that interests you – whether it’s gathering quotes, meeting and greeting our attendees at Night Summit, or helping our stage managers run the show.
Meet new people
Our volunteers always say that one of the things that keeps them coming back to volunteer with us year after year is the people they meet. Join our global community of volunteers and make connections you’ll keep with you long after Web Summit ends.
Experience Web Summit during your time off

As a volunteer, you’ll get access to the event during your time off. Check out talks from our top speakers, wander the conference floor or let off some steam at Night Summit.

Behind the scenes

Learn more about how an event the size of Web Summit runs by meeting the people that make it happen. You’ll get a unique insight into the buzz of gathering tech’s top speakers, journalists, investors, startups and attendees together.
