WHO ARE WE?
We organise “the best tech conference on the planet”. The
Wall Street Journal has described our events as “Davos for
geeks” and The New York Times as “grand conclave[s] of the
tech industries high priests”. We’ve a different approach and
that approach, in a short period of time, has had a dramatic
impact.
Our attendees and partners now include a “who’s who of
tech’s new vanguard” along with the very best of the Fortune 500. Our first event, Web Summit, has grown from 150
attendees to over 20,000 from around the world in just 5
years. Since 2014, we’ve started to bring the formula to new
locations around the world.
