Lisbon Web Summit 2022: “Where the tech world meets”

26 October 2022

The Web Summit is back in Portugal. In Paddy Cosgrave’s own words, it is “where the tech world meets” and this year’s edition is already sold out.


Lisbon will, once again, host this event, considered the largest technology and innovation convention on the planet, with over 70,000 participants and 900 speakers from around the world. From 1st through 4th November at FIL – Lisbon Exhibition and Congress Centre, there will be a lot happening during the 4 exciting days of this huge event.


The Web Summit is according to Forbes, “the best technology conference on the planet” that has grown to become the biggest European technology conference and the largest tech innovation global marketplace in the world. It is, however, about much more than technology alone: from business and politics to marketing, migration to climate change, media and entertainment, offering the opportunity to discuss solutions to most pressing challenges of the world today. It is an event full of conferences, side-conferences and network allowing all participants to meet key people, investors, potential employers or future partners. Everything can happen when a good opportunity strikes.


The Web Summit, which was initially known as Dublin Web Summit, has been hosted in Lisbon since 2015 and will continue to be until at least 2028 due to the 10-year partnership signed between the Web Summit and the Portuguese government.
