Web Summit 2022

Lisbon in the last year has become an appealing startup hub, and not only startups but also big companies have increased their interest in the Portuguese capital. Due to this, diverse conferences have taken place in Lisbon also but in this post, we will talk about the one that, from our point of view and also from some others, is the most important. 

‍

Web Summit itself is a company from Dublin that is focused on hosting different worldwide events with the mission of creating significant connections between startups, companies, founders, CEOs, investors, and influential people that are changing the world and redefining the world of tech. The one that matters to us is, of course, Web Summit Lisbon. The conference has been held in the capital since 2016 and in 2018 Web Summit made a 10-year deal with the city of Lisbon, so there are still some years to go. This year, Web Summit Lisbon will be held from the 1st to the 4th of November and it promises to bring more than 70K people together on this occasion. Starting on Tuesday 1st with an opening night to continue with the more than 250 talks in the next few days.

There are different tickets for groups, partners, investors, startups, and also for general attendees. The latter will give you access to different activities that will happen during the conference days. Prices start from €900, this being the most basic ticket and giving you access only to the exhibition floor, the basic ticket is €995 and includes other features like access to tools, classes, and contacts, and then there is the executive ticket that costs €4.995 that will also give you access to speakers receptions and executive lounge access and the most expensive ticket is the chairperson one that will give you access to the forum lounge and the investor lounge.

Despite the price, which we know is quite high, it is a great enriching career and life opportunity, through hundreds of life-changing speakers, exciting companies, fantastic networking opportunities, and even investors that will enrich your path. If we take into consideration the basic package, you will have access to the talks held by hundreds of speakers and diverse themes, covering over 30 topics that are all somehow related to tech, like cars and mobility, sustainability, e-commerce, smart cities, data science, privacy and security, AI, leadership, finance, energy and more.

Some of the speakers that are already confirmed for the 2022 version of Web Summit Lisbon are Nathan Blecharczyk Co-founder & Chief Strategy Officer at Airbnb, Naomi Gleit Head of Product at Meta, Toto Wolff Team Principal & CEO at The Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula 1 Team, Rohit Prasad Head Scientist of Alexa at Amazon, Nik Storonsky Founder & CEO at Revolut, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa President of the Portuguese Republic and many other fascinating speakers that have a lot to say in this changing and challenging world. 

‍

Many people come from different countries, especially for this event, and the city of Lisbon flourishes during the Web Summit days, where more events and activities take over the city so the attendees can enjoy them while they seize the last warm and sunny fall days in the beautiful and picturesque capital.

We hope you don’t miss out on this exciting experience in Lisbon, see you there!
