About us:
How did Web Summit become, in the words of Forbes, “the best tech conference on the planet”? Meaningful connections. Our tech events are unmissable because we make it easier for the right people to meet and connect. Everyone at Web Summit works towards this goal.
We’re always looking to build on the impact we have already made at Web Summit. In the coming years we’ll take Web Summit to new markets, promoting global connectivity, highlighting important issues and connecting global leaders – all while making a positive impact on the environment and communities we encounter.
To build a better company, we have to better ourselves. We do that by finding the most ambitious people to work with us.
About us:
Web Summit brings together founders, investors, speakers, partners and attendees at technology events around the world. We're headquartered in Dublin, with engineering teams in Dublin, Lisbon and throughout Europe.
We build our own software because tightly integrated software lets us run the best events in the world. Our software helps attendees prepare, find relevant people and activities, and make connections.
About you:
