www.lewebparis.com - LeWeb is the largest event for the web industry in Europe and the second largest in the world. In 2007, the conference attracted over 1,800 participants and 300 journalists from 40 countries. Keynote speakers have appeared at previous editions, including Shimon Peres in 2006 and Philippe Starck in 2007.
The theme of 2008 edition is "LOVE". Technology and key trends will be central to the program, augmented by sessions addressing this theme. That's love in all of its permutations: from romantic love (of course) to love of innovation and entrepreneurship.
The 2008 event is proud to announce the participation of Paulo Coelho.
