Web Summit is one of the world's largest tech conferences. For four days, founders, investors, engineers and journalists fill Lisbon's Parque das Nações for talks, startup demos, pitch competitions and plenty of networking. It has been held in Lisbon since 2016, and the agreement with the Portuguese government keeps it in the city until 2028.
