Questions people ask

What are the best networking events in Lisbon?

The best event is the one where the people you want to meet will be. The list on this page shows real upcoming events in Lisbon, gathered from official event pages and checked regularly. Tech conference side events and startup community meetups are the best places to meet people. Sort by what fits your goals, then open the official event page to confirm details before you book.

How do I find good networking events?

Start with your goal: hiring, clients, investors, or peers. Pick events built around that topic rather than general mixers, check who the organiser is, and look at the format. Smaller breakfasts, roundtables and workshops usually lead to better conversations than large receptions. On Prosotto you can also see which members are going and message them before you arrive.
