Well, for one thing, it's how you access your ticket for registration, so you really can't come to the event without it!
Aside from that, our in-house built software helps power your event experience.
The Web Summit app lets you connect with attendees, check out the hottest startups, and add the top talks to your personal schedule – all in one place.
When registering, be sure to include basic personal information on your profile.
If your headshot or profile information needs to be updated at any point, you can do this yourself directly via the app.
Select the topics you’re most interested in. This will help us personalise your Feed in the app: powering suggestions of attendees you might want to connect with, activations and events you might like to attend, and talks at the event we think might interest you. These topics can be adjusted in your Feed along the way, as you engage more with the app and the event schedule.
High-quality headshots matter. Make sure you follow our profile headshot guidelines below.
Photos should be:
Taken straight-on, not from the side
Including head and shoulders
Cropped as a square (please avoid circular/porthole formats)
1,000 x 1,000 pixels minimum
Preferably in colour, rather than monochrome/black and white
Good ✅
Bad ❌
