I was there for WebSummit 2016. I am not sure if it was an issue of the WebSummit organisation team or FIL's, but getting in the building took a good half hour every day queuing and especially the last day of he event, that most of people carried suitcases, it was really annoying to have to go around snail-like barriers, even when there was no queue. The security staff were horrible, not a nice attitude... there were queues for the bathrooms most of the time, a queue to go into the center stage... I think that for events where you expect 15,000 people they should get better organised with multiple entrances and automated check points than the annoying security guards.
