Two people in conversation. The person who appears to be speaking is wearing a baseball cap and a crew-neck tshirt, which reads 'There's always room for crazy big dreams'. This person is gesturing with their left hand, and their right arm is crossed in front of their stomach. The second person, also wearing a crew-neck tshirt, has their arms folded over their chest, with one hand raised towards their face. They appear to be listening attentively.
Two seated people shake hands and smile at each other.

“The giants of the web assemble.”

A large stage viewed from the back of an amphitheatre, over the heads of a large, full audience. No empty seats are visible. The stage appears small because of how far away it is.

– Wall Street Journal

“Web Summit is the World Cup of tech conferences.”

Brazilian footballing legend Ronaldo stands in front of a microphone. He appears to be speaking.

“Where the future goes to be born.”

Skyscrapers and other buildings line the waters of Rio de Janeiro's warm-looking Guanabara Bay. The rocky Sugarloaf Mountain is in the background.

– The Atlantic
