Lisbon
THE next generation of Internet giants gather this week in Portugal for four days of tech-fuelled networking, nights out and - for the first time this year - surfing of the offline variety.
Web Summit, which likes to promote itself as "the Davos for geeks" and provides a platform for startups to hook up with venture capitalists and hear about new trends from industry leaders such as Facebook, will see around 60,000 tech experts convene in Lisbon, where participants will look to catch a break either in or out of the water.
