LeWeb3 - getting ready for the 2008 edition

In 5 weeks I will be once again flying to Paris to attend this year's edition of Loic's LeWeb3 conference - for the fourth time. It's really amazing what the "small" gathering of 200 blogger turned into. Back in April 2005, when it still was called Les Blogs, it started as a pretty modest event in pretty modest times. Everything was a bit low key, but it was a great opportunity to meet people from all over the world, who were working and thinking along the same lines. And basically that's what LeWeb3 still is - just much, much bigger!

Today it's by far the biggest event about all things related to Web 2.0, social media et al. on this side of the Atlantic with lot's of inspiring speakers, which include the usual suspects like David Weinberger or Jason Calacanis, but also interesting people who are new to LeWeb like Chris Anderson. If you want to know more about this years program, here is short message from Geraldine & Loic:



At this year's conference it will be interesting to see, what impact the current crisis has on everyone working in our field. So I am forward to many interesting, hopefully not too gloomy discussions. If you want to be there, too, head over to LeWebParis.com...

Videos from LeWeb3 2007 available 

Last month I spend a couple of days in Paris to attend the 4th edition of Le Web3. It was really a remarkable event and now all the presentations are available online - either in the web browser of your choice and as podcast (RSS). So if you missed the event or if you were there, but just didn't go to the presentations, because there were better ways to spend the time (as I did), then check them out on Vpod!!

I haven't seen everything yet. But if I would have to pick my personal top 3 right now, it would be...
  • Hans Rosling: Why books and school lectures still exist.
  • Doc Searls: Turning the tables: What happens when the users are in charge.
  • Joi Ito: Digitized Worlds (World of Warcraft etc.).
Not really the core web 2.0 kind of stuff (well, Doc Searls probably is). But very inspiring nevertheless.

Btw, if you need a great restaurant recommendation for Paris head over to the Go to Rio blog, where Thomas blogged about the place we spend the evening before the conference to get in the right mood for the great food at LeWeb3 (sorry, German only)....

Back on the Blog

Wow, time flies. It has been a while since my last blog posting. What kept me from writing? A lot of different projects and a very nice, but too short 2 week vacation. Let's hope for more time in the coming weeks. Right now, I am preparing for the traditional trip to Paris in December visiting this year's LeWeb3, which turned from a little gathering of bloggers into Loic's private Web 2.0 mega-event with about 2000 attendees. Pretty impressive. So I guess it'll be the perfect place to put some fresh hot air into our little bubble 2.0... ;-)
