World wide web inventor to keynote at SBC Summit 2024
Sir Tim Berners-Lee will speak in Lisbon in September
Sir Tim Berners-Lee, the inventor of the World Wide Web, will speak at the SBC Summit 2024 as part of a fireside discussion.
The fireside discussion, focusing on how his vision of a globally connected network of computers has revolutionised the way we share information, is set for the Super Stage at Feira Internacional de Lisboa’s MEO Arena on Sept. 24 from 11:45 to 12:30.
Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web in 1989 during his tenure as a software engineer at CERN, the renowned particle physics lab near Geneva, Switzerland. He saw the unrealized potential of millions of computers linked via the Internet and conceived the Web as a global platform for sharing information.
“Our events have always been about exploring what lies ahead, beyond the current landscape. As event organizers, our goal is not only to provide attendees with access to products and services and facilitate networking but also to educate and inspire innovation, pushing their offerings to the next level. Sir Tim embodies this ethos perfectly — he’s a shining example of someone who recognised potential and transformed lives in unimaginable ways,” said SBC CEO and Founder Rasmus Sojmark.
Access to the Super Stage is available to all SBC Summit attendees, whether they hold a full event or an expo-only pass. In addition to attracting 25,000 attendees, the event will feature 600 global brands showcasing their products and insights from over 450 speakers, including industry C-levels, thought leaders and experts from various fields.
