How to Web Conference 2026 - Built for People Who Know What They Want | Monica Zara | BRP #149

Every year, thousands of people walk into a conference hoping something good will happen. The right conversation, introduction or even the right moment.

Monica Zara, Head of Conference, had one word for this year's edition: curation. And when she said it, she meant it in the most literal sense - the right people, the right rooms, the right formats, all built around one simple idea: if you know what you want to achieve, How to Web Conference will help you get there.

We sat down with Monica to unpack what that actually looks like on the ground. 🔥

The conversations shaping the agenda this year go beyond AI hype - into real ROI, agentic systems, shifting team structures, who's buying technology in Eastern Europe right now, and what fundraising actually looks like in 2026.

Plus, this year's lineup brings together leaders from powerhouse companies like Google, OpenAI and Meta AI.

For founders, the conference built concrete pathways to growth: the Spotlight program and competition, 1:1 mentoring, dedicated investor matchmaking, Accelerate Sales & Fundraising tracks, and the Demo Area. You also get access to side events that put you in the same room as a curated investor community. Not a seat in the audience. A seat at the table. 💼

The format itself is changing too. Fewer "sit and listen" sessions. More workshops, roundtables and tight formats where you work on your actual problem with actual experts - including a session on using AI without producing the same generic output as everyone else. 🧠

And the networking? Designed, not left to chance. Dedicated 1:1 matchmaking tables, +50 side events across the city and the official conference app ensure you meet the people worth finding - not just whoever happens to be standing near the coffee. ☕

This is How to Web Conference 2026. Come knowing what you want and leave with exactly that. 🚀
