Why WebSummit Works Only If You Know Why You’re There
People keep asking me to finally write a WebSummit summary (who’s asking, I only have 11 followers!).
Time to do it.
I’ve seen a lot of feedback about WebSummit, both the one I attended and previous editions, and there is a clear pattern: if a person knew why they were going and what they wanted to find, their review is positive. If they didn’t, the review usually says it was boring, and that the best part was having drinks at some side party (not Night Summit) with familiar faces.
As for me and my impressions: I am glad I got to experience an event of this scale, listen to very interesting talks from interesting people, and most importantly, see people whose eyes, just like mine, light up at the very thought of their startup.
