5 Reasons to Attend Extract Summit 2022

We are delighted to announce that Extract Summit 2022 will be returning to an in-person format after two years of being virtual. This time, it’s going to be in London!

For the past two years, Extract Summit has been virtual and while it allowed us to reach a lot of the web data extraction community around the world, the heart of Extract Summit has always been about connecting directly with the community and like-minded web data professionals, getting real insights and learning best practices in-person from experts. We are excited to be finally able to meet our attendees in person, chat, learn, and grab a coffee!

So, why should you attend?

1. Exceptional talks

Throughout the years of the Web Data Extract Summit, we have had a wide variety of talks, technical and business-related, on all things web data. Topics ranged from the future of web scraping and AI machine learning, to legal compliance and best practice tutorials, to business use cases and processes. This year will be no different. We have planned a wide variety of talks, technical and business-related, all things web data. We're sure you'll love them!

2. Web data experts

Past speakers at Extract Summit include CEOs, founders, CTOs, Data Scientists, Developers, Legal Counsels, and the list goes on! They all bring a wide range of insights and ideas to inspire the industry. Every year, we try to put together a well-mixed agenda delivered by influential web data extraction thought leaders and web scraping experts to give the best overview of the industry and web data trends.

Take a look at the recordings of last year's talks (2021, 2020, and 2019), delivered by an amazing line-up of experts covering the different fields and aspects of web data extraction.

3. Network and connect

The in-person event this year is a game-changer. This means there will be plenty of opportunities to interact and network with your fellow attendees and speakers. Connecting with web data experts and users has always been an important part of the Web Data Extraction Summit and the best place to do it. So whether you're ready to attend alone or with your team, there is always something to learn from your fellow web data professionals.

4. Real insights and use cases

The Web Data Extraction Summit is the place to get customer case studies and behind-the-scenes insights into how companies are leveraging web data to gain a competitive edge.

Web data extraction needs are changing and organizations have never been more reliant on data as the differentiator that fuels innovation and business growth. At Extract Summit 2022, you will get insights, practical tips, and real business use cases on web scraping, data extraction, and proxy management from the experts who do this every day.

5. It’s in London!

Extract Summit 2022 will be hosted in London's iconic County Hall, situated in the heart of the city on London's Southbank with breathtaking views over the Houses of Parliament, Big Ben, and the London Eye.
