What is Webit?

In the words of Mashable “The international event for the digital, technology and entrepreneurial ecosystem with special focus on EMEA.”.

Forbes says Webit is the event that turns Sofia into a digital capital”,

The Wall Street Journal calls it “ One of the most influential global digital industry gatherings”,

Bloomberg: “ Webit time – the future is now”.

TechCrunch: “One of these events you should not miss”.

But why do they say that?

It is because of Webit’s extremely dedicated team of young and passionate people who follow their dreams to change the world for better through innovations, technology and entrepreneurial ecosystems development.

Webit started a bit more than 10 years ago as a small but ambitious gathering which turned to be a global community with tens of thousands people as part of it and till now we held Webit events in Sofia, Istanbul, Singapore, Dubai and New Delhi. We have more ambitious plans to expand globally and thus we need new members in our Webit family.
