Lisbon is gearing up for the Web Summit 2024 from November 11-14, with an impressive crowd of over 70,000 participants.
The organizing body of Web Summit 2024 is the eponymous company, which was established in Dublin, Ireland, in 2009.

The very first Web Summit attracted only 150 attendees. Fast forward 15 years, and the company has hosted conferences attended by over 1 million people. The crown jewel of their events, the Lisbon-based Web Summit, is held each November.

This company also runs major global conferences such as 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. Networking is facilitated through a specialized mobile app designed exclusively for Web Summit participants.
