We are pleased to announce that we will hold a TechCrunch party that will close LeWeb conference next month in Paris. LeWeb is probably one of the most important web event in the industry and certainly the most important in Europe with more than 1500 participants coming from all over the world. TechCrunch has a been a media partner for a couple of years but this year we will do a little more and we’ll hold a special event december 10th at night.
We are expecting about 600 to 1000 participants (yes, even after 2 days of conference and a Myspace party..) and the party will be open to partcipants and non participants of the conference (all details will be announced soon). Music, open bar, quality mingling in an international crowd will be the agenda.
The party was announced a few days ago on Twitter and TechCrunch France and we have already 2 key partners for the event: SFR development and HotelaParis.com.
We have a few more sponsorship opportunities. If you are interested contact us at dan [at] techcrunch.com
Still need a ticket to LeWeb? TechCrunch readers get a 20% discount.
See you in Paris!
If it’s open to non participants ! hell yeah ! the conference tickets are sooooo expensive… a killer for a freelancer… when a workday means cash…
Why does this remind me of the Greek vacation/video of Web 2.0 Entrepreneurs that TechCrunch bashed last month?
Maybe next time…
Thanks TechCrunch crew for partnering with us and throwing the closing party at LeWeb!
What is the required attire, blue shirts and khaki pants?
Loic is a really cool guy / like his projects! but to be honest, the conference is nothing else but a money machine! the prices are rediculous – the right people meet meanwhile somewhere else – and michael you know this too! sorry for the harsh critic! but Im probably not the only one!
this is a post about the techcrunch party not the conference and we will open the event to non participants of the conference at an affordable price
“one of the most important the web event in the industry”, “20% discount”
C’mon, this post is about promoting the conference too!
Don’t take it personally, but this event is also about promoting self egos, the same group of people keep hanging around and Le Web is too expensive for it.
No. But, thanks for ASSking
Homer, don’t like frogs
“LeWeb is probably one of the most important web event in the industry.” Really – what industry could that possibly be? Seriously – please tell us. Our bullshit meter spiked and we just wanted to make sure there wasn’t some technical error on our part.
@Loic – throw in a business class ticket on Air France and a couple of nights at the George V and I’m there!
See you all at Le Web!
Meanwhile, TechCrunch UK is planning a series of European events this year and next, so keep in touch. The next is in Hesinki, followed by London:
