Europe's biggest tech conference - the Web Summit - will return as an in-person event in Lisbon this November, organisers have confirmed, after the event was held online last year due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Web Summit chief executive Paddy Cosgrave had said last November that the venue, Lisbon's Altice Arena, had been booked for 2021 and he expected the event to return in-person.
