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.
