Program
9 November serves as the pre conference day, featuring workshops and early networking formats. The main conference, with keynotes and the full programming, runs from 10 to 12 November. The Altice Arena hosts the major Centre Stage appearances and opening ceremonies, while FIL houses the startup exhibition halls, workshops and thematic stages. Each evening, the unofficial Night Summit program takes over, with bars and restaurants across the city hosting informal networking sessions.
Tickets
General attendee ticket prices range from around 630 to nearly 1,000 euros depending on when you book; early purchases offer significant savings. VIP tickets with added perks such as evening receptions and lounge access start at around 1,585 euros, and Chairperson or Executive passes can cost several thousand euros. Startup exhibition packages are available from around 495 euros per company. Qualified investors can apply for complimentary tickets. Tickets are sold exclusively through the official website.
Visitor Tips
- Book your hotel and ticket at least four to six months in advance; accommodation in Parque das Nações sells out months ahead.
- Both venues are well served by the metro (Red Line, Oriente station), about ten minutes from the airport.
- Pack comfortable shoes; the FIL venue is enormous and involves a lot of walking each day.
- Use the networking tool in advance, as popular attendees' schedules fill up fast.
- Make time for the Night Summit events, since some of the most valuable connections happen there.
