What is Web Summit?

It’s the largest technological conference worldwide, which will be held in Lisbon on Novemer 1 to 4, 2022.

Web Summit was first held in Dublin in 2009. At that time, it was a little “hangout” of local bloggers and enterpreneurs. In seven years, the Web Summit conference moved from Dublin to Lisbon because of poor infrastructure in the Irish capital, lack of space and refusal of local government to cooperate.

Nowadays, the audience of the most significant European Web Summit conference includes 70 thousand people.

World famous personalities present there annually. For example, the former president of France Francois Hollande, Intel CEO Bryan Krzanich, Facebook co-founder Dustin Moskovitz, Dell founder Michael Dell, Bono from U2, PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel, Elon Musk and many others.
