Web Summit tips: Interview with the team ?? The Web Summit is over, and we're eager to share our thoughts and tips about the Web Summit, especially for those planning to attend next year. ???? Dzvinka, Recruiter, shared her perspective: "I loved the event format and the people I met during these 3 days. The event gave me an understanding of how important it is to improve networking skills both in offline and online environments. I gained valuable insights into recruitment processes that we'll share in our report. My recommendation for those planning next year's summit is to prioritize comfort. Since these days involve active networking, make sure to wear comfortable clothes and shoes to avoid discomfort at the end of each day. Start preparing in advance, at least 2-3 months, to avoid exhaustion before the summit." ???? Daniel, BusDev, added, "I enjoyed the networking opportunities that Web Summit provides. I connected with over 200 people and shared industry knowledge. For me, the day summit is about work and communication, while evening events are for relaxing and enjoying the company of industry folks. My tip for next year's summit is to schedule as many meetings as possible in advance via the app. The app is a great tool for starting your network flow well before the summit. Another important tip is to be on your own. Even if you've arrived with a team, try to meet new people and explore interesting stands alone. By leaving your comfort zone, you'll be more motivated to network and achieve better results." ???? Oksana, CEO, commented: “I am happy to finally bring my team together for the Web Summit. I was impressed to see so many startups and new business ideas which proves that the industry is alive and ready to develop. For me, this summit is not only about getting new connections but also meeting partners from all over the world and exchanging with them. This year’s summit is all about AI and how it shapes the future, it’s crucial to listen to speakers and even if you lack time during the summit, you still have a chance to listen to the speeches via the app afterwards. If you’re planning to come for next year’s event, I’d recommend getting ready in advance – starting with exact goals, KPIs and strategy. Try to create a structure and divide your preparation into stages with separate KPIs for each. If you’re bringing a team, let them make fresh connections while being focused on strategic meetings. Plan most of these meetings during the first day of the summit to focus on extra tasks during the other days. Don’t skip side events and night summit networking, with the right strategy you can find new partners and clients during both day and night events!” We hope these insights prove helpful as you prepare for the next Web Summit! We look forward to seeing everyone again next year! If you have tips to share, feel free to post them in the comments – we'd love to explore them together ??
