AI event guide

AI Side Events During Web Summit Lisbon 2026

The AI selection covers events whose public program explicitly includes artificial intelligence, applied AI companies, AI builders, automation or AI-enabled business products.

How this guide works

How events are selected

Every event below is tagged AI in the directory. The editorial rating helps distinguish focused investor and business events from broader community activities.

Before you register

  • Choose applied-AI and investor events for fundraising or enterprise partnerships.
  • Choose builder and community meetups for peer learning and technical introductions.
  • Check whether the agenda includes pitches, a panel, structured matchmaking or only open networking.
