Web Summit Lisbon 2025
Web Summit Lisbon 2025 is set to take Lisbon by storm this November 10 to 13, bringing together the world’s most influential tech minds for what Politico calls “the world’s premier tech conference.” This global gathering connects people and ideas that are actively changing the world through technology, innovation, and collaboration.
Since its humble beginnings as a 150 person tech conference in Dublin in 2009, Web Summit has evolved into a powerhouse event that has gathered over a million business people from around the world. Founded by Paddy Cosgrave, Web Summit’s flagship event in Lisbon has become the must attend tech gathering of the year, described by the Atlantic as “where the future goes to be born” and by the New York Times as “a grand conclave of the tech industry’s high priests.”
What makes Web Summit truly exceptional is its unparalleled scale and diversity. The 2024 edition attracted more than 70,000 attendees, featured 950+ speakers, and showcased 3,000+ innovative companies. Web Summit 2025 promises to build on this impressive foundation, creating even more opportunities for meaningful connections between CEOs, founders, investors, media, politicians, and cultural figureheads who are reshaping our world.
Web Summit’s unique mission has always been to create software that enables meaningful connections between the most influential figures in technology and beyond. This focus on facilitating valuable interactions sets Web Summit apart from other tech conferences, creating an environment where partnerships form, investments happen, and world changing ideas take shape.
A Global Event Series
Web Summit has expanded beyond its flagship Lisbon event to create a global series of technology gatherings. Throughout the year, the organization hosts Web Summit Rio in South America, Web Summit Qatar in the Middle East, Collision and Web Summit Vancouver in North America, and RISE in Asia. Each event brings the Web Summit experience to different regions, connecting the global tech ecosystem.
