“The most inspiring, creative conference in the world.”
“Coming to Web Summit is really an opportunity to peer a bit into the future, connect to it, and be part of it.”
"There are so many areas and industries to experience in tech, but this was so well organized that I never felt lost or running around like a crazy person. The content was relevant, engaging, and thought provoking. It wasn't just regurgitation from the front page of Reddit - it was new and interesting, challenging topics."
“I was impressed by the organization level and the access to investors."
“Exceptional design thinking and quality of content. Being able to sit in the front row for presentations has been magical.”
"Different because of the mix of all of the different kinds of people all in one: executives, investors, media, startups, big tech companies, developers, entrepreneurs and celebrities. This community of diversity, inclusion, and accessibility is very encouraging."
"Our partners and our customers are here. We have to be here."
"Partnering with Web Summit has been important - we get access to this amazing event, we have wonderful discussions."
"What’s struck me most at Web Summit isn’t the tech, it’s the people. Founders being open about failure. Leaders admitting fear, journalists asking hard questions with empathy. Every conversation reminds me that innovation isn’t just about algorithms; it’s about courage, connection, and care. Because men and women, together, can build incredible technology."
“I have more information than I'll be able to regurgitate when I get back to the office.”
"I already had high expectations, but they were exceeded; it's much more interesting than I imagined. Besides the excellent content presented on stage, I was very impressed with the solutions the startups are showcasing here. I'm a Business Acceleration Manager, so I'll be returning with tons of new tools and insights for all the teams. Another incredible experience was the app; it works perfectly and helped me connect easily with people and organize my schedule."
"This is my fourth time at Web Summit Lisbon, and I've also attended every edition of Web Summit Rio, so I can say I'm a huge fan of this event. In Lisbon, the whole world converges here. And technology is advancing so fast that the Web Summit events throughout the year complement each other. My office is remote, so meeting people in person is still very important for my business."
"Web Summit is undoubtedly a milestone in Revolut's history. It was essential to join 10 years ago, when we were a tiny startup that nobody had heard about, so it was a logical decision then, and it remains so now. It's definitely one of those dates highlighted in our calendars, in all the geographies that you guys also have. We are very proud to be here."
“A lot of these technologies are being developed by men and women right here in this auditorium.”
“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.”
“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.”
"From flying cars, great panel discussions around where we will arrive in 2025, the pitch semis, new approaches to learning with AI, how to build a healthy and compelling company culture by simply paying attention to each individual employee, I meandered around the Alphas and Betas to understand where startups are going to."
"Regardless of the size of your company you can come and get a lot of value."
“It's fantastic for me focusing on emerging technologies. Great speakers, great interactions with booths. Mostly high-quality content.”
"Web Summit is a perfect illustration of the power of community."
"I don't normally attend pure tech conferences but this was a perfect mash up of tech, marketing, and future innovation. Also, again the gender equity makes a huge difference to the vibe. I don't normally attend pure tech conferences but this was a perfect mash up of tec, marketing, and future innovation. Also, again the gender equity makes a huge difference to the vibe. This was the most "millenial" conference I've attended and it was fascinating to see the dynamic of short attention span multi-tasking translated into an event. It looks like chaos on the surface but felt very productive in comparison to traditional events."
