In 2009,
LeWeb follows its trends not being only a tech conference to an event touching on more wide-reaching topics.
What LeWeb is really about is...
...people
We want attendees to get the opportunity to meet the speakers, entrepreneurs to meet investors to share ideas, open new opportunities by creating several networking areas adjacent to the plenary room.
...entrepreneurs
The StartUp Competition is an event in the event. We dedicate a space for this competition (a 400 seats room) 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. If you want to partner with us please contact us.
