# Events

> Every event we know of in the week of Web Summit Lisbon 2026: the summit's official programme (186) and, apart from it, the events others run (24). By day, each with its source.

Two lists, kept apart: what [Web Summit](../organisations/web-summit/index.md) itself runs, and what others run around it. Times are Lisbon time (UTC in November) and may change; each event's page links to where it was read. For the summit at a glance, see [the summit](../summit/index.md); for one table of everything, [the agenda](../summit/agenda.md).
