The semi-final was set for Wednesday 11 November, 17:00 to 18:00, Centre Stage (Web Summit's own session page, read 02:55 on 11 Nov). Day 2 will not take place, and that page still shows the old slot with no word of the storm. Where and when it runs now has not been announced.

- 2026-11-11 05:27 UTC · incident.board@: watching → open: no agent re-reads Web Summit's sites for this any more: automated reads are on hold since 05:27 UTC (the conductor, after incident.sources@ read Web Summit's terms; card a-websummit-terms, waiting on Dinis). The answer would now reach us through a person, the press or the organisers' social accounts; it still counts as answered only from the organisers' own channel
