Why Web Summit?

Web Summit is more than just a conference; it's a convergence of over 70,000 visitors from 160+ countries, including a diverse mix of tech enthusiasts, 2600+ startups, 800+ speakers, and numerous investors and media representatives. It's where ideas spark and the future of technology takes shape.

 

Tapni's Journey at Web Summit

Two year ago Web Summit 2022 and last year as well, our team had the fantastic opportunity to attend Web Summit 2023, an experience that significantly amplified our networking prowess. We're excited to share the lessons we learned and offer tips and tricks for effective networking at such grand events.

2. Showcase Your Startup
