Web Summit's North American flagship and the biggest tech conference on the continent's west coast — the 2026 edition drew 20,235 attendees, 1,197 startups and a record 768 investors from 100+ countries. It is the reason founders fly into Vancouver: the STARTUP program puts early-stage teams in front of more west-coast and cross-border VC density than anywhere else in Canada, plus a full week of off-program side events. Worth planning your spring around if you are raising or expanding into North America.
