Web Summit 2024 is upon us, bringing with it not only a gathering of brilliant minds, but also a unique opportunity for participants to experience innovation in a truly memorable way. The experience of strolling along the Tagus River allows you to discover the city, providing unforgettable memories for you and your team.
How did the Web Summit start?
The world’s largest technology conference began in 2009 and its growing relevance in the world is notorious. For the first five years it was held in the Irish capital. However, due to its growing proportion, the first edition in Lisbon was announced in 2015. Since then, the event has been held every year in Portugal, and the government has decided to extend this contract until 2028.
The Web Summit attracts, above all, representatives of the largest technology companies, as well as technology experts, European political leaders and other renowned figures.
Web Summit 2024
This year’s edition confirms the presence of more than 70,0000 participants from over 160 countries. Thus, the main motivations for gathering at this event are: “to listen to incredible speakers, to take advantage of unparalleled networking opportunities and to use proprietary software that maximizes the experience.”
This year’s Web Summit features names such as Brad Smith – President Microsoft, United States; Kuo Zhang – President Alibaba.com, China; Josh Silverman – CEO Etsy, United States; Hovhannes Avoyan – Founder and CEO Picsart, United States, among others.
