Web Summit is preparing to fight a celebrity influencer’s claim that she was dropped as a speaker from a tech summit in Doha, Qatar, earlier this year in an alleged breach of contract.

Simonetta Lein (43) was listed among dozens of speakers at Web Summit Qatar in February, where she was described as a “TV personality, creator and entrepreneur at the Simonetta Lein Show”.
