Web Summit is the largest technology conference in Europe by attendance, staged across the MEO Arena and the adjoining Lisbon Exhibition & Congress Centre at Parque das Nações, the riverside district built for Expo 98. Its structure is a main stage in the arena, a dozen or more thematic stages in the exhibition halls, and a very large startup floor on which several thousand young companies exhibit in rotating daily shifts, so a founder gets one day of stand space rather than four.
The organiser has published attendance around 70,000 since 2018, up from 53,056 in 2016, the first Lisbon edition. Unusually, the organiser also runs the evenings: Night Summit takes over bars across central Lisbon on each night of the conference, with attendance included in the pass, which is why the event is as visible in Cais do Sodré and Bairro Alto as it is at the arena.
01Почему это важно
Web Summit is the annual point of contact between European early-stage founders and international capital, and it is large enough that the fundraising conversations it starts show up in the following year's seed and Series A rounds. It also matters to Lisbon: the conference has been a substantial part of the city's transformation into a European technology base.
02Неделя вокруг мероприятия
Lisbon is fully booked and the effect reaches well beyond the conference site.
03Когда прибыть
Arrive Sunday. The opening ceremony is Monday evening, Tuesday is the first full day and Wednesday the busiest.
04Где остановиться
Two strategies. Parque das Nações puts you minutes from the venue and next to the airport, in a modern riverside district with conference hotels and very little atmosphere.
05Доступ и гостеприимство
Web Summit is a commercial conference with tickets sold openly online in tiers, alongside separate application-based tracks for startups, investors and press. Prices rise as the event approaches and no fixed public tariff is published, so none is quoted here.
06Где происходит светская активность
The organiser's evening programme puts the conference into the bars of Cais do Sodré, Pink Street, Bairro Alto and Santos every night, and those districts are effectively given over to it.
