Tech Summit

What Tech Summit does

Tech Summit is a privately held, B2B event-management and media company founded in 2016 and headquartered in San Francisco. It organizes large-scale technology conferences across multiple global locations, including Silicon Valley (Moscone Centre / San Jose McEnery), London (Woburn House / Regent's University), Europe (Postillion Hotel & Convention Centre, Amsterdam), Asia (Suntec Singapore), and Texas. Its flagship Silicon Valley event draws 5,000+ attendees and 200+ speakers across six thematic stages covering AI, software engineering, product innovation, tech trends, leadership, and networking, with additional smaller regional and vertical events including a dedicated Generative AI summit.

The company monetizes through three primary streams: tiered event ticket sales (Standard from $695 to Ultra Premium at $9,995 in Silicon Valley; All Access from £545 to Executive at £1,995 in London), sponsorship and partnership packages, and a content/media arm comprising a tech news publication, email newsletter, and the Tech Awards program. Its go-to-market is event-driven: direct ticket sales through event-specific landing pages on techsummit.tech, supported by content marketing, partnerships with travel platforms (Skyscanner, TravelPerk), venue partnerships (Hyatt Regency San Francisco, The Landmark London), and registration infrastructure provided by Swapcard (Silicon Valley) and Zoho Backstage (London and others).

Tech Summit serves a hybrid B2B audience spanning startups, corporates, public sector entities, investors (VCs and angels), and tech executives and engineers, with curated networking, investor-startup matchmaking, and persona-based communities (CIO, CISO, CAIO, Investor Community) positioned as core value drivers. The company operates with a lean team of approximately 15 employees and has won 'Top Tech Conference in San Francisco' in 2022, 2023, and 2024, alongside recognitions from Skyscanner and TravelPerk.
