Web Summit Vancouver 2027

Who should cross for this

Startup founders, investors, technology executives and practitioners, policymakers, media, exhibitors, and international business travelers.

The global technology and investment gathering creates a practical meeting point for North American and Asia-Pacific founders, capital, and technology companies.

Suggested trip length: 5 nights

Choose the badge before the agenda

General tickets include talks, masterclasses, exhibition access, meetups, Night Summit, and the event app. Prices change through promotions, so compare the checkout total and terms instead of relying on a discount headline.

Startups, investors, and media apply for accreditation; prospective volunteers can register interest; exhibitors buy packages. Accepted investors may receive free admission, while the limited Platinum Investor product was listed at CA$1,990. Each path has distinct eligibility and benefits.

Build a small conference inside the conference

The 2027 schedule and speaker list are not yet available. Current pages still display 2026 archives, and the homepage’s famous names are past Web Summit speakers rather than 2027 confirmations.

Once the programme launches, organize around one outcome—fundraising, partnerships, hiring, or learning. Save a focused set of sessions and meetups in the app, leave gaps for the exhibition floor, and avoid crossing the venue for every overlapping headline. Prior editions ranged across AI, quantum, climate technology, film, gaming, venture capital, and digital policy.

Expect the evening to move

Night Summit extends networking into city venues. In 2026 it used Bentall Centre, Granville Street, and The Shipyards in North Vancouver; 2027 locations may differ. A Coal Harbour or financial-district hotel keeps the daytime walk short, while Waterfront Station connects YVR, the Expo Line, and SeaBus.

The convention centre publishes ramps, elevators, hearing loops, and inclusive restrooms. Ask the organizer about 2027-specific accommodations, particularly for app access, captioning, and high-crowd transitions.
