Web Summit 2024

Join the technology enthusiasts at this year's Web Summit in Lisbon to find out the future of the tech world!

The first Web Summit was held in Dublin in 2009, where it remained until moving to Lisbon, Portugal, in 2016. Founded by Paddy Cosgrave, David Kelly, and Daire Hickey, the summit has welcomed over a million attendees and business professionals since its first opening. The event has hosted many speakers including CEOs, celebrities, politicians, and subject-matter experts. Notable names, such as Stephen Hawking, Elon Musk, and Bono, have been part of the Web Summit.

The event partners with many popular technology companies and startups, including Microsoft, Google, Meta, and Amazon.

The Web Summit's main event is held in Lisbon, but it’s also organized in many cities worldwide. Among them are Web Summit Rio, Brazil, MoneyConf in Dublin, Ireland, and many more.

The event takes place at the MEO Arena, previously known as the Altice Arena. It was built especially for this Expo and is one of Europe's largest indoor arenas. It hosts many events, like concerts, festivals, conferences, and sports events.

Last year, this venue gathered over 70,000 visitors who were introduced to big ideas about politics, society, business, media, and technology.

The Web Summit is scheduled over the course of four days, November 11 - 14. Hurry up to book your ticket and explore the innovative plans and ideas of the future.
