This is a special edition of Sideload from Web Summit, a vast technology conference hosted in Lisbon, Portugal, that was sold out and attended by more than 70,000 delegates, 1000 investors and over 2000 journalists from around the world. We spoke to Improbable’s Herman Narula about how he sees the metaverse developing, chatted to Norton’s Petros Efstathopoulos about what the firm is doing at the conference. We also speak to Web Summit founder Paddy Cosgrave and key tech journalists, Katie Prescott and Cristina Criddle about what they see as the key themes from the conference that they will be writing about in 2023. Plus we ask Edelman’s very own Justin Westcott and Gerry Wisniewski about their key takeaways from the conference.
