| Paris, Web Capital of The World On the 11th and 12th of December, Paris will be home to the fourth edition of Le Web 3 which will take place at 'Docks de Paris'. This event, which is now the biggest meeting of bloggers in Europe, brings together key Internet players and innovative entrepreneurs. Last year's Le Web 3 was a sell out. Shimon Peres opened the 2006 edition that was attended by 1, 350 people from 36 countries who came to exchange ideas during the conferences and debates led by Niklas Zennström – founder of Kazaa et Skype, Reid Hoffman – founder of LinkedIn, Tariq Krim – founder of Netvibes and Marc Simoncini – founder of Meetic, amongst others. This year's event goes beyond the sphere of Internet alone. For example, Philippe Starck will be there to present his vision of the Web. The programme is based on the theme 'Technological Developments – Behavioural Revolution', dealing with social networks, virtual worlds, on-line games, design and technology and the impact of technology on our behaviour and society. But, above all, it is once again Internet-entrepreneurs who will be in the spotlight. StartUps who wish to make themselves known are invited to register and 30 of them will be selected to present their company to visitors, a panel of experts and capital-risk investors. The finalists will then take part in a plenary session to be held on the second day. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Exhibition News :: home page |
