Web Summit Rio: Coming May 1-4

Web Summit Rio will bring together 15,000-plus people and the companies redefining the tech industry.

This May, we’ll host our first Web Summit outside of Europe in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Will we see you there?

Web Summit is “where the future goes to be born”

Politico said we run “the world’s premier tech conference”, the Atlantic that Web Summit is “where the future goes to be born”, and Reuters that we assemble “the biggest names in tech and business”.

Web Summit Rio, coming in May 2023, will join the roster of international events organized by Web Summit, taking to the world stage alongside Web Summit in Lisbon, Collision in Toronto and RISE in Hong Kong. Web Summit Rio will be the largest tech event in Brazil, gathering more than 15,000 people at Riocentro.

Meet our first speakers. We're adding more every week.

Why will 15,000+ people gather in Rio de Janeiro?

Three reasons: incredible speakers eager to share expertise, unparalleled networking opportunities with entrepreneurs, and proprietary software that will maximize your experience.

South American tech is on fire, and Brazil is probably the hottest startup country in the world right now. It’s time South America had its own global gathering of the tech community. And we think there’s no better city to host it in than Rio.

Be one of the first to take part in a brand new event experience. Join us in Rio de Janeiro in May.
