BOYD recently participated in Web Summit 2025, held in the vibrant city of Rio de Janeiro. As one of the largest and most influential tech conferences in the world, the event brought together thousands of founders, innovators, and thought leaders from across the globe—and BOYD was proud to be part of the momentum.

The atmosphere in Rio was electric. From insightful panels to spontaneous networking sessions, the summit offered countless opportunities to connect with like-minded individuals and organizations. What stood out the most wasn’t just the volume of interactions, but the authenticity—genuine smiles, thoughtful conversations, and a shared excitement for what’s next in tech and beyond.

A standout feature of the event was Web Summit’s AI-powered networking platform, which seamlessly connected BOYD with companies that shared similar goals and values. This smart matchmaking helped turn introductions into meaningful conversations, creating real opportunities for collaboration and shared growth.

It was also fascinating to discover the cultural bonds that link Korea and Brazil—especially the rising popularity of K-pop and K-dramas among Brazilian youth. These cross-cultural moments reinforced BOYD’s belief in the power of storytelling, design, and technology to build global bridges.

From a networking perspective, this was one of the most effective and well-organized events BOYD has attended. The team behind Web Summit created an environment that made building valuable connections both easy and rewarding.

BOYD extends a heartfelt thank you to everyone who made the summit such a warm and welcoming experience. We're excited to keep the momentum going and look forward to reconnecting with the global tech community at Web Summit Vancouver and Lisbon later this year—where we’ll proudly host our own booth. Be sure to stop by and say hello!
