Biography | Steve Huffman — Centre Stage at the Lisbon Arena, November 2017
kevin
By November 2017 the co-founder was again the chief executive, and the site was a stage act.
Huffman spoke on Centre Stage at Web Summit in Lisbon, held that year from 6 to 9 November at the hall now called MEO Arena in Parque das Nações.
The photograph is from Centre Stage on day two.
He had returned to Reddit as chief executive on 10 July 2015, the day Ellen Pao left the job after a moderator revolt.
Sam Altman, then on the board, announced the change on the site itself.
Two years later Huffman was on a European tech stage describing the same company to a trade audience.
The arena opened in 1998 as Pavilhão Atlântico for Expo '98.
Web Summit used it as its Lisbon home after moving from Dublin.
The pin is the public hall, not an office.
A visitor still finds a working indoor arena on Rossio dos Olivais.
The 2017 portrait is of Huffman on that stage, not a stock headshot.
