Web Summit 2018
11/05/2018 - 11/08/2018
What is Web Summit?
Web Summit started as a simple idea in 2010: Let’s connect the technology community with all industries, both old and new. It seemed to resonate. Web Summit has grown to become the “largest technology conference in the world”.
No conference has ever grown so large so fast. But we also pride ourselves in organizing the “best technology conference on the planet”.
Media
Over 2,600 media from more than 100 markets came to Web Summit in 2017. It’s not just editors from many of the world’s most influential publications, but market-shaping industry reporters from leading technology and trade publications and blogs.

- Web Summit 2017 brought together 60,000 people from more than 170 countries, including more than 600 from Berlin. It’s been called “the largest tech conference in the world” and “Davos for geeks”. We like to think it’s a meeting place for interesting people.These people create a whole world of data at every stage of their attendance. We took that data and took a look at how our 60,000 attendees interacted with people who came to Web Summit from Berlin – we found the 24 Web Summit attendees from Berlin who left the biggest mark on the event.We were surprised at what we found.
We’ll be the first to say that it’s an imperfect list – you can consider the data at our disposal in infinite possible ways – but it gives an interesting insight into the people in tech from Berlin worth watching.
You may well not have heard of some of the people on this list. But they are unusually globally connected. We’ve also tried to include many younger people who are rapidly making a name for themselves. You can find more of those people here.
