LeWeb’08 is the #1 Web conference in Europe with 1500 participants from 40 Countries hosted over Dec 9-10th in Paris. I’m excited to announce that I have cracked the nod for a blogger invite. LeWeb is all about internet technology and (this year) the people that use it. Attending this conference will be a real eye opener for me about international internet business and I look forward to meeting some real big players. If you wish to attend register here.

What LeWeb is really about is…

…people
Extending the success of last year’s networking venue, this year’s LeWeb expands the space with several spaces adjacent to the plenary stage. We want attendees to get the opportunity to meet the speakers, entrepreneurs to meet investors to share ideas, open new opportunities.

…entrepreneurs
The StarUp Competition is an event in the event. We dedicate a space for this competition which is a great opportunity for rising stars to get more visibility in front of business leaders, investors and technology influencers.

…partnership
LeWeb is an event that could not be achieve without the trust of our partners and we really work hard to build this on a long term relationship.

• Michael Arrington, Co-Founder & Editor, TechCrunch
• Dan Farber, Editor-in-Chief, CNET News
