Web Summit 2026 takes place November 9 to 12, 2026 in Lisbon, Portugal, at MEO Arena and FIL in Parque das Nações. Side events start the weekend before and run through the end of the week.
The Yorkseed List tracks 227 Web Summit side events, from opening night parties to founder breakfasts, investor dinners and pitch events. Yorkseed's own series includes the Opening Night on November 8 and seated Executive, Capital and Allocator Lunches on November 9, 10 and 11.
Usually not. Most Web Summit side events are run separately from the conference and have their own registration, often free with approval. A few official Web Summit meetups require a conference badge; the event page says so.
Look for founder meetups, pitch events and seated lunches where investors are confirmed. The Yorkseed Lisbon Delegation brings founders and investors to the week together, with introductions where there is a fit.
Investor dinners, LP and allocator lunches and curated founder showcases. Yorkseed's Capital Lunch and Allocator Lunch are built for investors, fund managers and family offices.
Yes. Yorkseed keeps a master side event spreadsheet for Web Summit Lisbon, and this page is the live, searchable version of it, with every event, time and registration link.
Listing is free. Paste your Luma, Partiful or Eventbrite link at list.yorkseed.co and the Yorkseed team reviews it within a day.
