On April 3, 2026, Italian model and influencer Simonetta Lein initiated High Court proceedings against Web Summit, alleging breach of contract related to her planned participation in the Doha summit. Previously, on March 19, 2026, Web Summit announced plans to host its first-ever event in Africa, scheduled to take place in Cabo Verde on December 4, 2026, aiming to position the island nation as a new hub for global tech dialogue and investment. This followed the return of Web Summit Qatar 2026 on February 26, 2026, which opened with the announcement of an additional $2 billion for Qatar’s Fund of Funds and a new 10-year residency program for entrepreneurs, supporting Qatar's push to become a global technology and innovation hub.
