2026 In Review
What will you build when you can build anything?
To every speaker, founder, investor and attendee who brought their clarity and drive to Bucharest for the 2026 edition – thank you for making How to Web Conference unforgettable.
As we begin building the 2027 experience, with a reflection shared on stage by Nicoleta-Ramona Dinu (State Adviser for Economic and Social Policies, Presidential Administration of Romania):
“Romania must become a place where startups scale into global companies, drive innovation and build cutting-edge technology. A resilient ecosystem requires time, trust and true collaboration across industries, generations and the public sector. The future belongs to those willing to build it.” How do we build that future? Join us at How to Web Conference 2027 and let’s discover it together.

The Team
By Builders, for Builders
How to Web is a small, hands-on team that has spent the last fifteen years working alongside founders, operators, and investors across Eastern Europe. We've launched products, run programs, backed companies, and shipped events — so we know what a useful conference actually feels like. Every detail of the agenda, the room, and the matchmaking is shaped by people who've sat on both sides of the table.
