Three tips that follow from the facts
Log contacts the same day
With 20,235 people at the 2026 edition, names blur by the evening. Write who you met and what you agreed while you still remember.
Tag notes by program
PITCH, the Developer program, the Startup showcase and Night Summit are separate programs over four days. Put the program and the day on each note, so “what did I hear at PITCH” has an answer later.
Bring Lisbon with you
Web Summit Lisbon and Vancouver share an organizer. Before May, reread what you kept from Lisbon in November, and mark what you wanted to check with the people in Vancouver.
How Eventnote helps across two events
Eventnote keeps slides, notes, voice notes and people from all your events in one place, so Lisbon and Vancouver sit side by side. Ask what you heard about a topic and the answer shows the event, the talk, the date and the slide it came from. Answers come only from your own slides and notes. The app is coming to iOS and Android.
