Since then, it has grown into the “world’s largest technology conference”, with over 70,000 participants from more than 170 countries and 1,000+ speakers. From global tech giants to diverse international (and Dutch!) startups, companies, investors, developers, IT professionals, and decision-makers — everyone comes together during these three inspiring days.

In November 2025, we travelled with more than 20 top digital leaders to Lisbon for this one-of-a-kind experience. Three days immersed in cutting-edge technology, visionary keynotes, strategic sessions, and of course: meaningful connections with like-minded leaders.

From 9 to 11 November 2026, we will once again organise this exclusive trip for CIOs and digital leaders from the Netherlands. Often called the “Davos for Geeks,” Web Summit brings together more than 70,000 innovators, entrepreneurs, and tech decision-makers from over 170 countries. In this dynamic environment, we create a high-quality and intimate experience, focused on inspiration, reflection, and connection.

Whether you're a CIO, CTO, CDO, or digital strategist – this trip offers the insights and connections you need to stay ahead.
