How do I assign my Web Summit tickets?
You can assign your tickets by following the link below to our ticket dashboard landing page. If your partner success manager has assigned the tickets to your email, enter it here. Please assign your allocated tickets to all attendees by October 28 to ensure that you don’t miss out on our newsletter highlighting event features and other information
When you enter the email address you will receive an email containing the link to your personal ticket dashboard, this link expires after 24 hours for security purposes (please allow up to 24 hours for this link to appear).
Once you have followed the link you will then see your tickets under the ‘My Orders’ tab.
By clicking ‘Manage Tickets’ you will be able to assign your tickets here.
Reassigning a ticket
It is possible to reassign (change the names on) your tickets if someone can no longer attend. The deadline for this is October 27.
Please ensure that you allocate all your tickets as soon as possible. Early allocation of tickets will allow you to create your Web Summit attendee profile and start networking with other attendees.
Please note that any staff working at your booth (not involved in build, load-in or load-out) should be allocated one of your Partner tickets.
The ticket is in your app
To gain access to the event, you will need to download the Web Summit app from the Google Play Store or the App Store (if you do not use a smartphone you can approach ticket support at registration where our staff will assist you). To access the app, please enter your email and your booking reference code. Your QR code can be found within the app in the “Profile section”.
Visa confirmation letter
Although we do not engage directly with any embassy, you can request a confirmation letter by signing into your attendee profile on my.websummit.com.
Once signed in, click on your profile picture in the top right corner. You’ll see a drop-down menu with an option to ‘Request confirmation letter’. You will be prompted to fill in your information, which our system will verify after you click submit.
Submit your masterclass content here by Friday, September 23.
Please send your Partner Success Manager your masterclass presentation slides by Friday, October 14.
Choose a topic that is engaging and relevant to your audience.
Avoid sales pitches at all costs. Attendees don’t like them and they don’t work. Masterclasses are an opportunity to position yourself as an expert.
Try to keep your synopsis short and gripping with a “hook” question underpinning it. Example: Will AI change how we do business?
Please note that roundtable titles have a 55-character limit and the session synopsis has a 200-character limit.
All content is subject to final approval from the CIS team.

Masterclasses should run for 45 minutes and 15 minutes for questions.
There is a maximum capacity of 80 attendees per masterclass session.
The masterclass will take place in a room within CIS on November 1. You will be informed of the location of your masterclass room in advance of the event.
If you are presenting slides during your masterclass, please send your presentation file to your Partner Success Manager by September 23rd.
Please ensure that all presentations are in 16:9 widescreen format.
