The Evolution of Web Summit: From Humble Beginnings to the World's Premier Tech Event

Since its inception, Web Summit has grown from a small gathering into one of the world’s most significant tech conferences, drawing thought leaders, entrepreneurs, and innovators from across the globe. But how did this transformation happen, and what makes Web Summit the “world's best tech conference”? Let’s dive into its history and journey through the years.

The Birth of Web Summit

Web Summit started in 2009 in Dublin, Ireland, with an ambition to bridge the gap between technology and business. Founders Paddy Cosgrave , David K., and Daire Hickey wanted to create a platform where technology experts and leaders from other industries could come together to discuss ideas and innovations. The first Web Summit was a modest gathering with just 400 attendees, but the response was overwhelmingly positive. This small start hinted at the event’s potential to become a major player in the tech conference scene.

A Growing Platform

Over the years, Web Summit grew exponentially. By 2016, the conference made a bold move from Dublin to Lisbon, Portugal, marking a new era as a truly international event. Lisbon’s vibrant tech scene and growing startup culture provided the perfect backdrop for the summit's next chapter. Since then, Lisbon has been the ideal stage for this global event, welcoming tech leaders and innovators from every corner of the world.
