What to expect

  • Keynotes + tracks across product, AI, startups, and policy
  • Side events all over town (the real Lisbon experience)
  • A great excuse to mix work trips with design-forward travel

Planning tips

  • Stay near a Red Line metro stop—Parque das Nações is easy if you plan transit.
  • Bring comfortable shoes; even with shuttles, you’ll walk a lot inside the venue.
  • Book dinner reservations early—Lisbon gets busy with attendees.

Build a day around it

The easiest Lisbon event day is a simple structure: one event block, one food block, and one “walk for the light” block — plus buffer. When you plan lightly, the city feels relaxed instead of scheduled.

  • If you have 2–3 hours: arrive early → event → short neighborhood loop.
  • If you’re making a full day: one major walk/attraction + event + a calm dinner plan.
  • If the weather turns: keep walking minimal and use cafés/museums as your buffer.

Before you go

  • Confirm the details: check the official link for last-minute schedule or venue updates.
  • Arrive with buffer: 15–30 minutes early usually makes the whole experience calmer.
  • Have a weather plan: keep one indoor “warm stop” in mind in case the day turns.
