I was there and experience was almost as good as every year.
Anyone was in web summit Qatat last year? I am going to also try that again this February.
Yes, my first experience at Web Summit was in 2022, and it was a fantastic platform for making connections and presenting products. While I have some concerns about the event's policies and certain guests this year, I believe that the projects improve year after year. Overall, I still see Web Summit as a great opportunity for networking!
We attended the last batch back in 2019. Fab experience. Pro tip - carry a tab with you and have a person joining remote to record quick 10 min interviews with people you meet. Allow them to pitch.
This gave us around 30 interviews and helped boost our brand presence on social a lot.
