Delighted to be bringing some of irelands top scholars to Lisbon this year, an amazing initiative!
Our Irish startup programme is back for 2025! We're giving 36 of Ireland's top startups a complimentary package to attend Web Summit in Lisbon this November. Connect with global leaders, attract investors, and get your brand noticed.
Web Summit has started an initiative where we will match any fundraising activity of employees up to 50k in a calendar year. Ali Nolan was one our recent recipients, where we matched €17,811, resulting in a total donation of €35,622 for the Blackrock Hospice. Well Done Ali!
Web Summit helped 36 Irish startups attend our annual event in Lisbon this year, to showcase the amazing talent and innovation Ireland has to show!
Our Deputy Country Manager in Doha, Dima Wahbeh was part of the discussion at the Doha Women's Forum, 7th edition recently. Amazing to contribute to women in tech, and show how more initiatives and platforms must be made for women to showcase their talent in the tech space!
An incredible effort and contribution by the Web Summit team to the Irish charity - A lust for life. Over 7,000 euro raised for this very important charity, to fund early prevention mental health educational programmes in Ireland. Congrats to Trevor Merrey, and all the team who cycled 160km to raise awareness, and for Web Summit for matching the contribution.
We are updating our stage names and themes as we move into a new cycle of events. This will help our attendees navigate the conferences better, and see the content they want. Hopefully this will lead to better engagement and overall attendee experience!
We have an incredible Creative team here at Web Summit, producing diverse and powerful content to enhance our attendee experience. Check out some of the recent illustrations for our last Collision event in Toronto! Next stop - Web Summit Vancouver in May 2025!
We’re so proud to introduce our new all-women Impact steering committee, dedicated to advancing the UN SDGs across all aspects of Web Summit.
