It was a true immersion in the world of innovation and technology. I met inspiring people, struggling entrepreneurs, and creative minds who are shaping the future. We exchanged ideas, shared experiences and, most importantly, created valuable connections that I’m sure will lead to exciting collaborations and projects.
It was an excellent experience for me. Throughout the event, the speakers were excellent and the networking opportunities were plentiful. There was a wide range of marketing content presented – not simply a repetition of the same old marketing topics. As a digital marketer, there was much to learn from this event. It was inspiring and refreshing to see women sharing their knowledge and empowering one another.
Web Summit Rio exceeded my expectations. In addition to renowned speakers and current topics, the structure allowed for an excellent networking experience.
The sheer magnitude of the event was eye-opening – the grand venue, the enormous stages, and the caliber of speakers were very impressive. It showed me the scale of the tech and marketing industries, and the unlimited possibilities that are out there. Between the speakers, panel talks and masterclasses, I spent time in the Women in Tech Lounge, where I was able to network and forge valuable connections. Attending Web Summit Rio was so impactful that I immediately knew I wanted to return the following year.
