This event took place on Wednesday, November 2, 2022 at 5:00 PM UTC.

Are you in Lisbon for Web Summit? Want to kick back among top names in town -- both notable and good people -- for the 5th annual Grit Daily series of speaker's dinners? Are you in to really good food? (Really, they take care of us at Ibo.) Look no further. And this particular dinner features investor and start-up judge from Web Summit, Dr. Abdalla Kablan, 50+ startup investor and Grit Daily Founder and Executive Editor Jordan French, Dataconomy's Elena Poughia and Hackernoon's Stewart Rogers, David Meltzer, Maha Abouelenein, John Biggs (fmr Gizmodo & TechCrunch), videographer extraordinaire Ali Powell (fmr. TechCrunch and CoinDesk), Maha Abouelenein, John Koetsier, and others. You’ll also hear from Invisible Technologies’ Suzanne Rabicoff and Hayley Darden, with a sneak peak into the future of virtual super-assistants and what The New Yorker distinguished from “Siri (a known moron), Alexa (a known snoop), or that officious paper clip from the nineties…” You'll likely be drinking throughout, since there's much to celebrate. In this year's dinner, you'll hear from serial entrepreneur Dr. Abdalla Kablan, investor at Web Summit, who also is a judge on past Web Summit startup pitch competition stages.
