The Web Summit is back for the first in-person event in two years, welcoming attendees from 128 countries.
It is the biggest event in tech since the pandemic, with 42,751 attendees. Whilst it’s lower than 2019’s event with 70,469 people in attendance, the event has been scaled down in regulation with Covid restrictions.
Over just four days, 748 speakers will deliver 1,333 talks, with some of the biggest names in tech including Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen.
This year, the Web Summit is making history by hosting more women attendees than men for the first-ever time. Representation of women has steadily grown from 46.3% in 2019 to 50.5% this year.
This year, there will be 1,519 startups participating in the event and 70 Unicorns.
