Web Summit has announced plans to create 60 new jobs after surpassing €100 million in revenue in 2025, almost doubling since 2023 and rising sharply from €17m in 2020.

In a LinkedIn post, CEO Paddy Cosgrave described the past few years as transformative for the bootstrapped events business, crediting its team for scaling the conference to a “historic” level despite industry-wide challenges.

The new roles will span sales, engineering, production and finance, with opportunities available across Dublin, Lisbon and globally in remote, hybrid and office-based formats.

Cosgrave also acknowledged the difficult year faced by many tech conferences, expressing gratitude for Web Summit’s growth and offering support to others in the sector.

BusinessCloud has attended and reported on the last two annual Web Summit events in Lisbon.
