Dublin Tech Summit aims to return city to the top table

A technology conference is aiming to attract 10,000 attendees to Dublin and reaffirm the capital as the “epicentre” of the global tech scene after the departure of the Web Summit to Lisbon.

The Dublin Tech Summit, founded by ex-Accenture consultant Ben English, will be held in the Convention Centre and across the Silicon Docks over two days next February.

Given the conference’s location, nestled among many of the world’s largest multinationals in Dublin’s thriving docklands, the summit will aim to foster links between large established firms and indigenous SMEs.
