Web Summit Vancouver 2027

Web Summit Vancouver 2027 runs 25-28 May 2027 at the Vancouver Convention Centre in Vancouver, British Columbia, the third edition of Web Summit's North American event under a three-year agreement with the city. The 2026 edition drew 20,235 attendees from more than 100 countries — up nearly 30 percent on 2025 — including 768 investors and close to 1,200 startups exhibiting in AI and machine learning, SaaS, health tech, wellness and fintech. The programme is built around Centre Stage and a set of content tracks, plus structured side programmes: PITCH, the marquee startup competition run with KPMG; a startup showcase with rotating exhibiting cohorts; Speed Networking meet-and-match sessions; Night Summit evening events across the city; and dedicated investor, developer, Women in Tech and Indigenous attendee programmes. Past editions have featured speakers including Sam Altman and Geoffrey Hinton.

• ✓Startup founders and CEOs raising or scaling
• ✓Venture capital and LP investors
• ✓Corporate innovation and corporate development leaders
• ✓CTOs and heads of engineering scouting technology and talent
• ✓Product and growth leaders at technology companies
• ✓Tech media, analysts and policy leaders

For a corporate development, innovation or CTO function, four days in Vancouver is the most efficient way to see the North American early-stage market in one pass: nearly 1,200 startups exhibiting, 768 investors circulating, and a matching system that turns that into booked meetings rather than a stand crawl. It is a scouting and partnership trip, not a technical education one — the value is in the deal flow, the hiring conversations and the read you get on where venture money is actually moving in AI, fintech and health tech this year.

• ✓Centre Stage keynote programme and multiple content tracks
• ✓PITCH startup competition, in partnership with KPMG
• ✓Startup showcase with rotating exhibiting cohorts
• ✓Speed Networking: Meet & match sessions
• ✓Night Summit evening programme across Vancouver
• ✓Investor programme including a dedicated LP investors track
• ✓Developer programme, Women in Tech programme and Indigenous Attendee Program

• ★The largest tech conference in North America by attendee count outside the US, and the only Web Summit edition on the continent — 20,235 attendees from 100+ countries in 2026
• ★Investor density is the point: 768 investors attended in 2026 against roughly 1,200 exhibiting startups, a ratio most conferences cannot match
• ★PITCH, run with KPMG, is a genuine competition rather than a demo hour — the 2026 winner was a six-month-old climate startup, Cura Climate
• ★Structured matching — Speed Networking, mentor hours and the meetups system — means meetings are scheduled through the app rather than left to chance
• ★Runs dedicated Women in Tech and Indigenous Attendee programmes alongside the main track, and a hackathon open to non-technical attendees debuted in 2026
