Web Summit is one of Europe's largest technology conferences, held annually in Lisbon and organised by the Web Summit group. The 2026 edition runs 9-12 November at the MEO Arena and the adjacent FIL exhibition centre in the Parque das Nacoes district. Recent editions have drawn on the order of 70,000 attendees from more than 150 countries, spanning founders, investors, large technology companies, policymakers and press. Programming is split across numerous stages covering artificial intelligence, cloud and infrastructure, fintech, climate technology, media and startup growth, alongside a large exhibition of early-stage companies and an investor programme. Announced speakers for 2026 include Cloudflare co-founder and chief executive Matthew Prince, Reddit operating chief Jen Wong, You.com founder Richard Socher, European Commission executive vice-president Henna Virkkunen, and Union Square Ventures partner Albert Wenger. The 2026 agenda continues the event's emphasis on artificial intelligence, with dedicated stages and startup competitions, including an IBM-backed sports-technology prize. For Italian and European attendees, Web Summit serves as a year-end meeting point for the regional startup and investment community, with thousands of participating companies and a broad international speaker roster. Registration operates through tiered attendee, startup and investor passes.
