About the event
The largest technology conference in Europe, and the reference point most regional events are measured against.
Web Summit's value is breadth: policy, capital, media and product in one place at a scale nothing in the Middle East yet matches. For a regional audience it is most useful as calibration - what is being funded and argued about globally, six to twelve months before it reaches the Gulf calendar. The startup exhibition rotates daily by stage, which makes a short visit viable.
