About this event
A private table for people building what’s next in media, publishing and the creator economy.
Some of the most interesting media businesses today don’t look like traditional publishers. They’re built around newsletters, communities, creators, technology and new ways of connecting directly with audiences.
During Web Summit, we are bringing together a small, carefully curated group of founders and business leaders for an intimate, off-the-record breakfast.
The idea is simple: great people, around one table, having genuinely useful conversations.
We’ll exchange experiences, challenge assumptions and explore what’s working (and what’s not) when it comes to building sustainable businesses around content, audiences and influence.
From monetisation and distribution to business models, growth and the challenges of building something that lasts.
Who’s around the table?
Founders and senior operators building across media, publishing, newsletters, creator-led businesses and the technologies powering them.
We also welcome selected entrepreneurs rethinking communications, content and audience engagement.
The group is deliberately small and curated to ensure everyone brings something valuable to the conversation.
What to expect
Thoughtful peer conversations, not presentations or panels.
Honest exchanges, including the challenges, mistakes and lessons that rarely get discussed publicly.
Meaningful connections with people building in your industry.
An off-the-record setting where everyone can speak openly and contribute.
A note on breakfast
Expect a simple, frugal breakfast.
No fancy spread, elaborate catering or luxury experience. Just coffee, something to eat and a seat at the table.
The €200 ticket isn’t about the food. It’s about bringing together the right people for conversations worth having.
