We counted the whole public schedule: 1,122 sessions from Monday 9 to Thursday 12 November. - **Security:** all 17 Cybersecurity Summit sessions are on Thursday 12, on Stage 8. - **Startups pitching, and the investors watching them:** all 16 PITCH sessions are on Tuesday 10, on Stage 12, ending with the results at 16:45. - **AI and policy** run on all three main days; **developers** on Wednesday and Thursday. - Monday 9 is Opening Night: Centre Stage at 18:00 and 22 Night Summit meet and greets. ## Which day is yours Counts of sessions per track, from Web Summit's public schedule as it stood on Saturday 7 November. Times are Lisbon time. | If you work in | Track | Mon 9 | Tue 10 | Wed 11 | Thu 12 | Where | |---|---|---|---|---|---|---| | Security | Cybersecurity Summit | 0 | 0 | 0 | **17** | Stage 8 | | Startups, early-stage investing | PITCH | 0 | **16** | 0 | 0 | Stage 12 | | Investing | Venture Summit | 0 | 14 | 12 | 0 | Stage 5 | | AI | AI Summit | 0 | 18 | 20 | 15 | Stage 13 | | Software development | Developer Summit | 0 | 0 | 15 | 16 | Stage 10 | | Policy and regulation | Policy Summit | 0 | 17 | 18 | 17 | Stage 11 | | Software as a service | SaaS Summit | 0 | 0 | 0 | 16 | Stage 7 | | Finance and fintech | MoneyConf | 0 | 17 | 14 | 0 | Stage 8 | | Energy | Energy Summit | 0 | 15 | 0 | 0 | Stage 10 | | Health | Health Summit | 0 | 0 | 0 | 8 | Stage 5 | | Growth and scaling | Growth Summit | 0 | 0 | 26 | 20 | Stage 9 | | Startups showing their product | Startup Showcase | 0 | 0 | 10 | 10 | Stages 6 and 12 | | Everyone | Centre Stage | 1 | 19 | 19 | 14 | Centre Stage | | The evenings | Night Summit | 22 | 34 | 34 | 0 | in the city | The table shows 14 of the schedule's 30 tracks. Some tracks share a stage on different days: MoneyConf has Stage 8 on Tuesday and Wednesday, the Cybersecurity Summit on Thursday. ## Three ways to read it - **A CISO with one day to spare** should take Thursday: the Cybersecurity Summit, the SaaS Summit and the Health Summit all run only that day. - **A founder deciding when to be at the stand** might keep Tuesday free for PITCH and the Venture Summit, which ends on Wednesday. - **A developer** has Wednesday and Thursday; Tuesday, with no Developer Summit, is the day for the AI Summit and the stands. The companies this newsroom follows are on [our companies page](../companies/index.html), grouped by field: 30 in security, 22 in AI agents, 18 in developer tools, 15 in governance, risk and compliance. The sessions we picked, day by day, are on [the summit's days](../summit/index.html). ## What this does not claim - **Times and rooms change.** These counts are a snapshot of 7 November; check Web Summit's app on the day. - **A session's track is Web Summit's label.** Security topics also come up on other stages (Centre Stage, the AI Summit); the table counts only the track. - **Meetups, stand events and side events** (more than 300 more items) are left out of the table; they run Tuesday to Thursday. ## Where this comes from - Web Summit, the public schedule, one page per day, every page read on 7 November 2026 between 18:40 and 18:55 UTC, each session with its date, time, stage and track: , , , (4, 55, 58 and 45 pages) - This newsroom's company records (`data/companies/`) for the counts by field ## Who made this From an idea of the correspondent's Web Summit beat (WK1).
