Join our volunteer programme in 2023.

Volunteer and attend Web Summit for free. Aside from gaining valuable experience working at a fast-paced event, you’ll also gain access to every talk you want to see and have the opportunity to make contacts and connections.

Applications to volunteer for Web Summit 2023 are now open.

Choose how you make a difference

By volunteering at Web Summit, you’ll receive a free ticket to the entire event. As a volunteer, you get to be part of the action, attending keynotes, sessions and talks – all for free.

Once you’re at the event, you could be assigned a role in anything from media to operations, with tons of other options in between.

We’ll try our best to accommodate your interests so that everyone benefits from your involvement in Web Summit.

Gain valuable experience
Volunteering at Web Summit is an opportunity to dip your toes into roles that you might not normally get to experience. We can help you find a volunteering role that interests you – whether it’s gathering quotes, meeting and greeting our attendees at Night Summit, or helping our stage managers run the show.
Meet new people
Our volunteers always say that one of the things that keeps them coming back to volunteer with us year after year is the people they meet. Join our global community of volunteers and make connections you’ll keep with you long after Web Summit ends.
Experience Web Summit during your time off

As a volunteer, you’ll get access to the event during your time off. Check out talks from our top speakers, wander the conference floor or let off some steam at Night Summit.

Behind the scenes

Learn more about how an event the size of Web Summit runs by meeting the people that make it happen. You’ll get a unique insight into the buzz of gathering tech’s top speakers, journalists, investors, startups and attendees together.
