Venue and registration

Web Summit's venue guide gives the address as MEO Arena and FIL, Rossio dos Olivais, 1990-231 Lisbon. Opening Night is on Centre Stage in the arena, and Monday's Night Summit is in Pavilion 5. The venue map is in the Web Summit app.

Collect your lanyard and wristband at one of two registration points listed in the registration guide: Terminal 1 of Humberto Delgado Airport, or the Pavilhão de Portugal on Alameda dos Oceanos, next to the venue. Bring photo ID and your ticket, which is in the Web Summit app. Registration times had not been published when we checked on 30 October. Web Summit asks attendees not to bring bags, only small ones are allowed inside, and all food and drink stalls are cashless.

Some other routes in are closed for 2026: the startup programme is sold out and the women in tech programme is closed. Individual student registration is not offered; the INSPIRE schools programme works through teachers. There are no one-day passes, as every ticket covers all four days, including Night Summit. Refunds are only given within 14 days of booking, and resold tickets can be cancelled. Most tickets can be reassigned in the ticket dashboard until you check in at the venue. Volunteering is another way in: see our guide to volunteering at Web Summit.
