Collision is Web Summit’s sister event, and found a home in Tony Hsieh’s Downtown Pro-ject in Vegas.
In 4 short years, Web Summit has become Europe’s largest tech conference attracting over 20,000 attendees from around the world. Collision is our vision for a new type of tech conference for America: A meeting place for 10,000 people who are both building the companies of tomorrow and managing the companies of today.
The first Collision was held in Downtown Vegas in May 2014. It was our beta test. In 2015, Collision will grow to a 10,000 person conference.
