"Good event to participate in!"

The summit location was great, there were many meetup sessions, and the atmosphere was good. The booths for startups were also well placed.

"Web Summit Qatar keeps getting better and better!"

I really enjoyed seeing so many diverse people in the same event. Great speaker sessions, booths from many different companies, entities, and startups. Having the Night Summit and Food Summit close together was a great change. So was the addition of the masterclasses. Opening up the floor of the event on opening night was a welcome surprise, too. Looking forward to seeing these changes maintained next year!

"An amazing experience!"

The format and quality of the speakers were excellent. The side events also allowed for deeper engagement with key stakeholders. Additionally, the Night Summit Forward event was amazing.

Hi, this is my first year summit. So I just came here because of my company. Actually, this was a nice experience. A lot of people came. It's a great opportunity to meet other people who are living in the different countries and different cultures. And it's very nice for the web submit team, the organization team. You are doing the great job and coordinating all things. It was a nice experience. Thank you.

Web Summit is not only a reference in content for the technology innovation segment, but also an example of execution, everything runs so smoothly for an event of around 70,000 people. For speakers, it's a super experience. There is all the separate setup of support, for the catering and for participants. Also very good logistics as well as unmissable speakers, of course in content. One of the not to miss events every year.

Venue was really good. It was excellent for networking and especially to watch the innovation approaches in all industries through the start up categories. Then some country stands were really good. For example, Austria had a pit stop, an F-one pit stop and you are able to do the pit stop. Then the talks, we had many, many talks and then instead of missing them, you could watch them afterward in the app. Night Summit was also fun.

The Web Summit had some very fantastic speakers. Everybody from the First Lady of Ukraine, who talked about the war to other investors and fantastic venture capitalists and startup founders learned a lot, met quite a few people and would go again sometime soon. I think there's a lot of excitement in the air about tech, despite the markets being slow or having a downturn, lots of folks looking for new jobs and new opportunities. So it's definitely a very interesting event in Portugal.

I'm very glad that our company had a chance to participate for the first time at Web Summit. This is a unique opportunity to share experience, communicate with mentors, find partners and friends. I especially know that the event was always kept me out. kept me up to date with the help of its mobile obligation. It's insanely convenient and gave me many very, very useful contacts for me personally, for my company as well. I really like the experience. I hope our company will participate next year soon. Stay in touch.

I thought the event was very good. It was very large. the only thing that I didn't like is the food trucks and the food areas. It was all very unhealthy food. and it took absolutely ages to queue to get any food, I think as well. Maybe some more entrances. But from a vendor's perspective, it went really well. and it was a very successful event for me and the team.

A great experience!

What did you like best about the event?

High density of high-quality conversations, ease of connecting with founders and investors, strong connectivity, and direct access to engaged investors.

What could the organizers do to improve the event?

Speed networking was great. But a dedicated evening or two of Investor- and founder-focused Speed Networking sessions would have been better.

A very good experience!

What did you like best about the event?

The organization was solid. A definitive improvement from last year. The summit also offered numerous opportunities to network and build meaningful connections with founders, investors, and professionals from diverse industries and backgrounds. Overall, the event felt more intentional than last year’s.

What could the organizers do to improve the event?

The app should be released earlier, well ahead of the event, and meetup opportunities should be more intentional, with better attendee matching rather than random participation.

It was a wonderful first experience, albeit with slight disappointments.

What did you like best about the event?

The Centre Stage Talks, Centre Stage Group Discussions, Night Summit, & the Networking Events.

What could the organizers do to improve the event?

The volunteer training needs improvement. Many volunteers seemed unsure of basic event procedures, appeared lost, and lacked the curiosity to ask questions or assist confidently. For example, when I arrived for pre-registration on Saturday, Jan. 31, at 12:00 p.m., the volunteers did not know where to register me as an attendee. I had to find the registration signs myself. The lanyards were also too short and should be made longer for comfort and visibility. Additionally, the event map should include booth locations to help attendees navigate more easily. Even when volunteers were asked for directions, they were often unclear about whether a booth was inside the summit hall, outside, or at the reception.

What could the organizers do to improve the event?

There should be better engagement with investors. I had arranged four meetings, but it was difficult to locate contacts, and there was no coordination or support for missed opportunities. Additionally, the investor lounge should provide appropriate lunch arrangements, similar to those in other lounges. We come from different countries and are serious investors, so appropriate support and amenities are important.

I was busy with the investors' lounge and meeting startups. But I did attend a few sessions on AI.

Web Summit Qatar keeps getting better and better!

What did you like best about the event?

What could the organizers do to improve the event?

There's always not enough time to cover everything at Web Summit Qatar, but I understand it will be difficult to add more days. I think more information could be provided about the startups i.e. a more interactive or seamless platform or if they can be classified into funding stages or just introduced to media.

Good event to participate in!

The summit location was great, there were many meetup sessions, and the atmosphere was good. The booths for startups were also well placed.

What could the organizers do to improve the event?

Inform exhibitors of the exhibition dates 1–2 months in advance. Properly segregate Alpha and Beta startups. Provide more opportunities for startups to showcase and ensure at least one chair is available for startup exhibitors.
