Connecting people and ideas that can change the world.

Web Summit is one of the world’s largest technology events, connecting people and ideas that change the world. Web Summit events have gathered half a million people across Web Summit in Lisbon, Collision in North America, and RISE in Asia since its beginnings as a 150-person conference in Dublin in 2009.

 

Our mission has been to create software that improves conferences and enables meaningful connections between the CEOs, founders, investors, media, politicians and cultural figureheads who are reshaping the world.We’re a company from Dublin, Ireland, that holds events across the world: Web Summit in Lisbon and Tokyo, Collision in Toronto, and RISE in Hong Kong.

Politico has said we run “the world’s premier tech conference”, the Atlantic that Web Summit is “where the future goes to be born”, and the New York Times that we assemble “a grand conclave of the tech industry’s high priests.”

At a time of great uncertainty for many industries and, indeed, the world itself, we gather the founders and CEOs of technology companies, fast-growing startups, policymakers, and heads of state to ask a simple question: Where to next?
