The second day of Web Summit, a major technology conference, has been canceled due to Storm Charles. Held in Lisbon, the event was set to take place from November 9 to 12. Over 70,000 attendees from more than 150 countries gather at this significant conference.
The decision to cancel was based on potential risks from high winds and tidal flooding. An official update from Web Summit noted severe disruptions to public transportation as a major concern.
Important event update:
The Government of Portugal advised Web Summit to cancel Day 2 due to risks from Storm Charles, including tidal flooding and high winds. Discussions involved the Portuguese Government, the National Emergency and Civil Protection Authority (ANEPC), and the Public Security Police (PSP).
Web Summit emphasizes the safety and security of all participants. The event plans to proceed with Day 3 on Thursday, November 12, after Storm Charles passes. Continuous monitoring and coordination with relevant authorities will ensure a safe continuation of the event.
Further updates will be communicated directly to those affected.
