The tech conference’s co-founder said he plans to shift focus from the massive events the company hosts to “smaller,” more “intimate” and “community focused” functions. In announcing his return to the helm, Cosgrave did not address the controversy around his comments criticizing Israel’s response to the Oct. 7 Hamas attack. (The Logic)
Talking point: Cosgrave apologized and stepped down last fall amid intense backlash to his comments insinuating that Israel had committed war crimes in Gaza and condemning Western leaders for supporting the state. Tech companies—including Google, Amazon and Meta—as well as prominent industry leaders boycotted Web Summit events, which include the Collision conference, slated to be held in Toronto for the fourth time in June. The CEO role has been vacant since Katherine Maher—who briefly replaced Cosgrave—stepped down March 1 to take the top job at National Public Radio.
