About us
In the years since 2009, Web Summit has grown from a 150-person conference in Dublin to a global event series gathering more than 140,000 attendees every year from all over the world. We build incredible things, from technology and stages to relationships and experiences. Since 2009, we've grown our team to more than 340 people. At our headquarters in Dublin, Ireland – and in Portugal, Canada, Qatar, Brazil and many more locations around the world – incredible engineers, developers, producers, designers, marketers and salespeople come together to create unique global events. In Europe, North America, South America, Asia and the Middle East, we are builders of world-class global technology festivals. Our events take on the flavour of their surroundings, while still retaining the successful framework we've fine-tuned over the years. Web Summit events have become unrivalled global meeting places for the world's most disruptive technology companies, and for those interested in how that disruption can transform their businesses and their lives.

Last night, we hosted three simultaneous women in tech dinners in Dublin, Lisbon and London. We invited 73 incredible women leaders to celebrate, and spark ideas about what we believe needs to happen to continue the upward trajectory for women in tech and business in general. We regularly host dinners around the world, connecting inspiring women founders, investors, leaders and more. If you’d ever like to join, our DMs are open.

A little Web Summit news: The largest number of startups ever will be at Web Summit this November. We're beyond thrilled and I'm so proud of the team. Today we share the data for the first time. The number of American startups exhibiting in Lisbon will surpass 150 for the first, reaching more than 250! The number of startups exhibiting from both the UK and Germany will reach ~300 for each country, up sharply on 2023. The number of startups exhibiting from Spain and Italy will increase by more than 50% compared to 2023, to ~170 from Spain and ~100 from Italy. These rates of growth are unprecedented for Web Summit. But non-traditional markets are also up sharply too. The number of startups exhibiting from Serbia for example, will exceed 50, which is more than double the number compared to 2023. The number of startups exhibiting from Finland has also doubled in just a single year. And that’s just startups who are exhibiting. There are far more founders and startups simply attending; networking, listening, learning. We estimate there will be ~15,000 founders at Web Summit this year. A large part of this unprecedented growth is driven by a boom in bootstrapped startups. That boom is ushering in a new era in tech. Traditional, early stage VCs are increasingly being sidelined, while a new generation of bootstrapped startups are starting and scaling without them. For the first time, "seeking investment" is no longer the top priority for startups at Web Summit. It's “meeting customers”. Tech is changing. And Web Summit is changing to meet this new reality. So why is there a boom in bootstrapped startups? Perhaps it is because it has never been cheaper to build software; perhaps it is because it has never been cheaper to scale a software startup; perhaps it is because it has never been easier to find customers; perhaps it is because major tech companies fired hundreds of thousands of highly talented staff in recent years and many of those are now bootstrapping a new generation of startups. Whatever it is, you'll meet an entirely new generation of founders and startups at Web Summit, more of them bootstrapping than ever before in our history. The numbers are unprecedented. The entire Web Summit team has worked flat out for the last year to hit this incredible milestone. I'm so proud of them. The entire team of more than 300, who've worked full time throughout the year, can’t wait to welcome you and an entirely new generation of founders and startups to Lisbon. See you all in November.
