Official dates and details ↗

Web Summit 2026

After Lisbon, make it personal.

A conference trip has more people behind it than the ones wearing the passes. Decide who the card is for before you share its writing link.

  1. 01

    The team on the stand

    Make one card for the colleague who ran the stand. Ask the people who worked alongside them to add their own words, including the team back at home.

  2. 02

    The side event host

    If someone hosted your dinner or meetup, gather messages from your own group. Share the finished card directly with the host rather than posting their details publicly.

  3. 03

    The speaker who gave you time

    Ask your colleagues who attended the talk to contribute. Keep the card separate from a pitch, a request for an introduction or a list of sales contacts.

  4. 04

    The crew who kept it running

    Include setup, support and the people who covered the office while you travelled. Recognition does not have to stop at the people who went to Lisbon.

  5. 05

    The week after the event

    Leave space for colleagues to write once they are home. Choose an opening date after the trip, when the recipient has time to read it.

The organiser’s list

Before you board.

Keep your conference plan and your thank you plan separate. The event organiser handles tickets and entry; you handle your team’s card.

  • Choose one person or team to receive each card.
  • Ask colleagues before adding them to the writing group.
  • Share the writing link in your own team channel.
  • Keep customer lists and contact details out of notes.
  • Set an opening date after the trip home.

AI safety checks

People write.
AI checks.

The check looks for threats, abuse, sexual content, spam and exposed private details. Flagged notes are kept off the card for a person to review.

How the checks work ↗
01

Your own words

AI does not write, complete or rewrite a colleague’s message.

02

A person can correct it

Company cards have a spam folder for managers and admins. On a card bought without an account, the creator reviews set aside notes through their manage link.

03

The limits are clear

AI can miss a note or flag one wrongly. If the check is unavailable, writing still works.

04

Check the data policy

Notes are sent to TypeSafe for the check. Names and card access codes are left out of that request.

From an occasion to a card

Give them
everyone’s words.

  1. 01

    Create the card

    Pick a cover, name the recipient and choose when it opens. You can buy one card without a company account.

  2. 02

    Share the writing link

    Colleagues contribute in a browser. Each person writes and signs their own message.

  3. 03

    They open it on the day

    The messages arrive together in one card. The recipient reads it on their phone.

For repeated birthdays, work anniversaries, welcomes and leaving days, use a company account with Slack and BambooHR.
