Four days in Lisbon
Lisbon, Portugal, Web Summit Lisbon 2026 is scheduled for November 9–12 at MEO Arena in Lisbon. The event expects to bring technology leaders, founders, investors and policymakers together across 17 content tracks, with stage sessions, masterclasses, roundtables and industry meetups. The main exhibition is scheduled for November 10–12, following opening-night activities on November 9.
For companies planning to attend, the event is a chance to meet potential customers and partners in one place. The scale also means that having a clear plan before arriving can make the difference between useful meetings and a calendar full of conversations that go nowhere.
Robotics and AI feature in the speaker lineup
The official event page lists speakers and technology demonstrations spanning AI and robotics, including humanoid robots AgiBot A3 and Galbot G1, as well as leaders associated with Manus AI, Unitree, Replit, ModelBest and Xiaomi Group. The lineup reflects how AI is being developed across software, hardware and consumer products.
The presence of robotics companies is notable because AI is increasingly being connected to machines that operate in physical environments. Questions around safety, practical utility and cost will matter as much as the novelty of a demonstration.
A broad programme for different industries
Web Summit’s 17 tracks cover technology and its effects across industries. Attendees can use the schedule to find sessions relevant to their work, while meetups and roundtables offer smaller settings for focused conversations. For startups, the strongest preparation is specific: identify likely customers, research investors and prepare a concise explanation of the problem the product solves.
Established companies can use the event to assess new tools and meet potential suppliers. The crowded schedule makes it useful to prioritise sessions and leave room for follow-up meetings.
What attendees should prepare now
The official event page confirms the dates and venue, but attendees should check the programme for schedule updates as the event approaches. Exhibition access and session times can vary by day, so travel and meeting plans should be based on the latest official information.
Web Summit Lisbon 2026 will bring a broad technology audience to the city. The value for any one attendee will depend less on the number of sessions attended than on the quality of conversations, the clarity of goals and the work done after returning home.
