Web Summit Vancouver opens with tech’s biggest question: who owns the future?

Those were just a few of the questions posed Monday night as Web Summit Vancouver kicked off its sophomore conference at the Vancouver Convention Centre, where it welcomed the 20,000 attendees from more than 100 countries that will make up this year’s event. This is Web Summit’s second year of a three-year run in Vancouver, and it’s hoping to bring the crowd size to 40,000 by 2027.
