Remember that we are unable to refund any tickets on the basis of failure to secure a visa.
We do not liaise with the government of any country to provide visas. However, we are happy to provide a letter confirming you are attending Web Summit.
Letter of attendance
If needed, we can provide each team member with a letter confirming their attendance in order to supplement their visa application. To request this letter, please log into your attendee profile here. You will need your unique ticket reference, which can be found in your ticket package. Your ticket reference is in the format ABCD-STR.
After you sign in to your attendee profile, you can click on your profile picture in the top right corner. From here, you will see a drop-down menu. Click ‘Request confirmation letter’. You will be prompted to fill in your information, and our system will verify it after you submit.
***Please ensure all information is correct, as you can only apply once.***
After you fill in your information, you will instantly receive your letter of attendance as a PDF to the email associated with your ticket.
If a member of your team needs a letter of attendance, please have them sign into their own attendee profile from the link provided above and follow the same instructions.
