Hello. Hello. Hello. Tyler Bryden here. I hope everything is going. Well. Iâm back from Portugal. Iâm back from.
Web summit? Iâm fat. I ate way too many. Portuguese tarts I wish I didnât even know. They exist now.
After all that, running and everything before but. What I wanted to do in this video is a little bit of a post analysis. And review of. Web summit. And no, Iâm not going to give Web summit, you know, a.
Score. At the end of this, this is just some insights perspective. From someone who attended what I learned. Lessons, and maybe some things. To to think of if youâre considering.
Going in the. Future maybe as a founder, as an investor, just. As a general attendee, as someone whoâs. Interested in tech? And all this stuff, maybe a couple.
Things to consider So what is Web summit? Massive conference. I sort of said sort of like the Burning Man for tech nerds. About 70,000 people were there and 70,000 people is a lot of people. I went.
To collision here in 2022 in in June and it was 35,000. People. And already that was a. Lot. And so I donât always think that quantity equals quality. It was crowded. In some cases it felt a little bit.
Overwhelming. And sometimes there were too many people to talk to and sort of focus in on these niche groups. And what I think that this, you know, led to is maybe some dilution of the impact of the content. For it and. So while super exciting and amazing to see that many people in the same place, in the same facility and then the city which created.
A lot of. Electric energy and excitement sometimes. It was hard to find. I found sort of talks, especially. Speakers that were.
Sort of. Penetrating through and. Being, you know, exclusively. You know, relevant. To you and.
Thatâs not really their. Fault. Itâs just them, you know, with these big crowds making sure that their content is, you know, generally. Available and. Accessible and maybe not to directly to someone in say my.<
