LISBON: Web Summit, Europe's biggest technology conference, will be held entirely online in December due to the coronavirus outbreak, which has forced the cancellation or postponement of many major events this year, its organiser said on Oct 8.

"Lisbon is still Web Summit's home but with growing Covid-19 outbreaks across Europe, we have to think of what's best for the people of Portugal and our attendees," the conference's founder Paddy Cosgrave said in a statement.
