After introducing SIME last week, we would like to recommend another great event to you: LeWeb, the #1 European Internet conference that takes place every year in Paris.

The 6th edition of LeWeb will be held on Dec 9th and 10th 2009 and is all about the "Real-Time Web". LeWeb not only wants to be a tech conference but an event touching on more wide-reaching topics. Its main stage program will be featuring internet leaders and visionary entrepreneurs as well as world renowed voices like author Paulo Coehlo or designer Philippe Starck. To submit discussion topic ideas or speakers please click here.

Adjacent to the plenary stage, there are special Networking Zones (there even was a mobile sauna for tired conference attendees at LeWeb 2008!) Please click here to register to the conference.

As in the past, LeWeb 2009 will be running a StartUp Competition: The best 20 applications will be selected to make a 6-min-demonstration of a new product. To submit your company please click here.
