Attendees gather on stage as confetti is dropped during the opening event at the Lisbon Web Summit in Lisbon, Portugal, on Monday, Nov. 6. Photographer: Daniel Rodrigues/BloombergThe Web Summit will not go ahead with a physical offline conference in Lisbon in December as planned, according to founder Paddy Cosgrave. Mr Cosgrave, who is expecting 100,000 online attendees for the annual event, said that the decision was taken after discussions with Portuguese Authorities. The safest and most reasonable answer is to host Web Summit fully online in 2020. Tickets for the online event are on sale at reduced prices compared to offline tickets.
