About this event
Health and wellness products live or die on trust, motivation, and consistency, which makes social design more than a nice-to-have. Experience Social+ in Health & Wellness: Noom Demo @ Web Summit is a focused in-person meetup in Lisbon for people who want to see how community-driven product experiences can strengthen engagement in a category where habits, support, and accountability matter every day. If you are at Web Summit and looking for something practical rather than vague trend talk, this is a useful stop on your schedule. You will get a closer look at how social product thinking can show up in health and wellness, using a Noom demo as the anchor for conversation, examples, and networking with people thinking seriously about the same challenges. About the Event This event brings together people interested in the intersection of health, wellness, community, and product design. At its core, it is a chance to explore how social experiences can improve the way users engage with wellness platforms, whether that means better retention, stronger motivation, or a more meaningful sense of belonging. The format is designed to be straightforward and useful. Rather than a broad or overly polished summit session, expect a more grounded meetup environment built around a demo, discussion, and networking. The Noom-focused lens gives the conversation something concrete to react to, which makes it easier to move beyond theory and into what actually works. Because this is happening during Web Summit in Lisbon, it is also a natural meeting point for founders, operators, designers, and community-minded builders who are already in town. That creates a strong mix of people from adjacent disciplines, all bringing different questions about behavior change, user experience, and social engagement. What to Expect You can expect the event to center on a live look at health and wellness product experience through the frame of social features and community interaction. The Noom demo provides a practical reference point for discussing how product teams can design for motivation, support, and habit formation in ways that feel useful rather than forced. A likely flow for the meetup includes: A short welcome and framing of the health and wellness social product landscape A Noom demo as the main shared artifact for discussion Conversation around social and community mechanics in wellness experiences Open networking with other attendees from Web Summit and the broader Lisbon tech community This is also the kind of event where informal discussion matters as much as the scheduled portion. Expect questions about what helps users stay engaged over time, where peer interaction adds value, and how community can support better user outcomes without becoming distracting or superficial. Because the event is tagged as both a meetup and a networking opportunity, there is room for people to compare notes across disciplines. You may hear product questions, growth questions, UX questions, and community questions in the same conversation, which is often where the most useful insights come from. Why Attend If you work anywhere near consumer health, digital wellness, social product, or community-led growth, this event offers a more specific conversation than a generic networking session. It is useful because it focuses on a real product context and a real category where behavior change is central. Attending can help you sharpen your thinking on questions like: How do social features support wellness outcomes rather than distract from them? What makes community feel motivating, safe, and relevant in health-related products? Where does accountability help, and where can it create friction? How can product teams design for ongoing engagement without relying only on reminders or streaks? There is also value in simply being in the room with people who care about these problems. Health and wellness products sit at an unusual intersection of technology, psychology, design, and human support. Conversations tend to be better when they include multiple viewpoints, and this meetup is well positioned for exactly that. For people attending Web Summit, this is also a chance to step into a smaller, more targeted setting. That usually means better conversations, more relevant connections, and a clearer sense of who is actively building in this space right now. Practical Details Location: In person in Lisboa, Portugal. This is a physical meetup, so plan to attend on site and leave time to navigate between Web Summit-related commitments if you are building this into a packed conference day. Date and time: Thursday, November 14 at 12:00 PM GMT. A midday start makes this a strong option if you want a focused session in the middle of the day without committing your full afternoon or evening. A few practical reasons this timing works well: It fits naturally into a Web Summit schedule It gives you a chance to meet people while energy is still high It creates room for follow-up conversations later in the day If this topic is close to your work, come prepared with a point of view. The most useful attendees for this kind of meetup are often the ones ready to ask concrete questions, compare product choices, and talk openly about what they are seeing in health, wellness, and community-driven experiences. This is a good event for learning, but it is also a good event for contributing.
