Speaker reception
When talks finish on Web Summit Centre Stage, we host invite-only evening events for speakers, investors and media.
Partnering with our VIP events puts your brand right in front of all of our esteemed attendees. It gives you the chance to continue conversations from the conference floor and engage with your target audience in a more relaxed, informal setting. The logistics of the VIP Night Summit events are managed with your partner success manager.
Venue:
The speaker reception will be held in Forum, our speaker lounge.
Guestlist management:
The guestlist is managed by the Web Summit team at the entrance of Forum. The Web Summit team will monitor event attendance and access.
Photography:
The Web Summit team will provide a photographer for the night. Should you require your own photographer onsite, please discuss this with your partner success manager.
Entertainment:
If you are interested in having entertainment at the speakers reception, please discuss this with your partner success manager.
Catering:
Your partner success manager will share menu options with you to review if required.
AV:
Let your partner success manager know if you need mics or a PA system.

Dual-branded tent cards and one dual-branded welcome easel will be provided, and set up by your partner success manager on the event day.

Guestlist management and lead generation:
The guestlist will be managed at the door of the venue by Web Summit. Please be aware that lead scanning of attendees at the door is prohibited. If lead generation is a main objective, please discuss options with your partner success manager.
