Dublin Tech Summit
annual international technology conference held in Dublin, Ireland
The Dublin Tech Summit (DTS) is an international technology conference held in Dublin, Ireland. The first summit took place on 15 and 16 February 2017, at the Convention Centre Dublin in the city's Silicon Docks area.
Irish telecom firm Eir (Eircom Limited) was a founding partner of the Dublin Tech Summit and a lead sponsor.
The event is one of many vying to fill the void left by the controversial departure of the Web Summit to Lisbon, Portugal after 2016. It bills itself as one of Europe's "fastest growing international tech conferences".
The Dublin Tech Summit aims to run annually and attract over 10,000 attendees. It is reputedly focused on attracting speakers, startups, exhibitors, sponsors, and investors, covering a number of themes, including: emerging technologies, machine learning, space exploration, "Tech for Good", "Diversity in Tech", big data and analytics.
In its inaugural event, two-thirds of the 10,000 attendees came from outside Ireland, and 48% were female, with DTS reportedly attempting to encourage attendance from under-represented groups in the tech industry.
DTS19, the 2019 event, took place in Dublin's RDS Arena from 10 April to 11 April 2019. In 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the organisers held a virtual summit event.

Why this record matters
The phrase “annual international technology conference held in Dublin, Ireland” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The date and method of observation matter as much as the stated conclusion, especially where classification or consensus has changed. The source revision retrieved here is dated Dec 23, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q28130569. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2017, 2016, 2019 and 2020.
Scientific names, classifications and consensus can change while older terminology persists in catalogues and historical literature. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
