Woman in tech? Join our network

Hear from women who joined

Begonia Vazquez Merayo

<p>&#8220;Through Web Summit, I built strategic connections that later evolved into speaking opportunities, curated dinners for women in tech, and cross-border collaborations. One critical insight shaped my approach: proximity shapes opportunity. When women are present where capital, innovation, and narratives are formed, influence follows.&#8221;</p>


Leslie Ann Keeler

<p>&#8220;Web Summit brings together extraordinary ambition at a defining moment in technology. As part of the women in tech community, I witnessed what happens when women gather not just to be seen, but to speak honestly about leadership, pressure, and responsibility. The conversations were ambitious, yes, but also grounded and real.&#8221;</p>


Luciane Barros

<p>&#8220;I had an amazing experience, connecting with other talent community members, sharing experiences, and gaining great insight into the challenges and milestones that foster belonging. I definitely recommend that other women in tech attend the Web Summit!&#8221;</p>


Meet some of our ambassadors

 Carolina Kia

<p>&#8220;Web Summit is much more than an event. It is a platform for high-level connections, where we learn and exchange with people who are shaping the future. Being part of this movement has made all the difference in the growth of weme and in my personal development. It is an honor to be an ambassador for Women In Tech.&#8221;</p>


Vanessa Poskus

<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve been to both editions of Web Summit Rio and the potential for connections is fantastic. As CEO of a startup, I know the value of building a good network that can support the next step of my business.&#8221;</p>


Grazi Sbardelotto

<p>&#8220;This is my seventh time attending the event, and each time it continues to exceed my expectations. The atmosphere is a perfect combination of innovation, cutting-edge technology, practical insights, and unparalleled networking opportunities.  It was also inspiring to see the growing focus on giving space to women in technology, highlighting their impact and encouraging more diversity in the industry.&#8221;</p>


Carolina Nucci

<p>&#8220;For me, beyond the content, what sets Web Summit apart are the connections. I met incredible people and learned a lot from each connection. Furthermore, with the Women in Tech program, the relevance of women&#8217;s presence on and off the stage is remarkable and inspiring. That&#8217;s why I don&#8217;t miss the event for anything!&#8221;</p>


Laura Salles

<p>&#8220;Web Summit Rio has already brought us many achievements, from attracting investment to new clients. In addition, this event is an immersion in learning and trends in technology and business.&#8221;</p>


Karina Tronkos

<p>&#8220;Participating in both editions of the Web Summit in Rio was an incredible and very inspiring experience! Being at such a grand event, full of diverse people and relevant debates, showed me even more the importance of taking our place as women in technology and bringing new perspectives to transform the sector.&#8221;</p>


<p>We are deeply committed to changing the gender balance at all of our events, and to empowering women across the world by fostering networking opportunities, building mentorship programs and nurturing our online women in tech community.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>


Our commitment to change

The Web Summit logo is visible in several places on the wall behind them. This is a Web Summit press conference.

<p>In 2026, over 43 percent of participating startups at Web Summit Rio were led by women. We hope to grow this percentage every year. Each women in tech attendee may purchase up to 5 packages, giving you 10 tickets to bring your team to Web Summit Rio.</p>
<p>Please Note: Each package contains two women in tech tickets. Both tickets must be assigned to women. As part of our commitment to change, and in accordance with Part C of our <a href="https://rio.websummit.com/terms-and-conditions/">terms and conditions</a>, this program is only open to people who identify as women.</p>


Our community

We hope to continue this trend next year.
