LEWEB´08 Program ?"LOVE"
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.
