Sessions
On this page you will find information on:
In the weeks leading up to Web Summit, we will be hosting four startup webinars. These 45-minute sessions will be hosted online by leaders and experts in various business fields.
Startup Sessions provide you with guidance, advice and direction when facing a challenging business environment. Startup Sessions will also give you the opportunity to pick up key skills and knowledge that will help prepare you for Web Summit.
Topics
Startup Session topics are chosen with your startup in mind. We want to help you prepare for Web Summit, whether that’s perfecting your elevator pitch or getting advice on what investors at Web Summit look for in attending startups.
The schedule for Web Summit 2022 Startup Sessions can be found below. One week before the event, we will be hosting “How to make the most of Web Summit”. In this final Startup Session, our hosts will answer your questions live on all things Web Summit. We will show you how to use the mobile app, talk you through registration at the venue, and explain what to expect when you arrive in Lisbon.
You can also check out the recordings below from previous events. They cover a range of topics from startup mythbusting to alternative fundraising options.
