Microsoft President Brad Smith is returning for the second consecutive year, while CEO of App Annie Ted Krantz will be presenting and taking part in a panel discussion on Tuesday.
Web Summit organisers said in a statement: “At a time of great uncertainty for many industries and indeed, the world itself, we gather the founders and CEOs of technology companies, fast-growing startups, policymakers and heads of state to ask a simple question: where to next?”
