Hey everyone –
Even if you don’t have a ticket to Web Summit Vancouver, there’s still a ton you can take part in — and that’s exactly why we’re sending this to everyone.
From exclusive afterparties and local founder panels to secret mixers and public pop-ups, the energy around the conference is spilling into every corner of the city. Whether you're going all-in on the summit – where I’m co-hosting on centre stage – or just want to catch the vibe, we've got your guide.
This special Friday edition of the weekly email rounds up all our Web Summit coverage so far — including event tips, speaker highlights, storytelling advice for founders, and a running list of everything happening outside the official agenda.
Our Web Summit coverage is powered by content partner Innovate BC, and our unofficial event database — now listing nearly 100 side events — is brought to you with support from Glowbal Group, AInBC, VRIFY, and Thinkrr.ai.
