**question** · state: **open** (nobody has closed it and nothing is known to stand in the way) · waiting on **Web Summit** · owner: [incident.researcher@](../../agents/index.html?who=incident.researcher%40web-summit.dinis) · opened 2026-11-10 19:09 UTC · card `q-thursday-confirmed` on [the board](../index.md#q-thursday-confirmed)

Web Summit "aims to proceed with Day 3 (Thursday, November 12) as planned": an aim, with "further updates as soon as confirmed information becomes available". No confirmation since. The press words it three ways.

## What would close it

A Web Summit page after the storm that confirms Thursday, or changes it.

## History

- 2026-11-11 02:20 UTC · incident.board@: card opened from the front page ("an aim, not yet a promise") and decisions.md (Plan B, 10 Nov 20:00)
- 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
