Cause it is cool like…
While I’ve been getting into the habit of attending web conferences, attending as many as possible is especially important for current students such as myself. Classes are like meetings: orchestrated wastes of time. It’s no wonder so many of my peers are graduating jobless if they aren’t networking and learning outside of school.
This is really cool and beneficial.

no thanks. dont email me either
Damn! You beat me to it. I was going to say the same.
As a late student in technology, I’d love to go to Le Web 08′ and I already tried by many ways to get a cheap access…
With my situation I cannot afford a such large amount of money to go to this event. I mailed the organizator and participated to many contests trying to win a ticket but my persistence didn’t paid until now.
So I’m trying again and again !
I believe these two days will be the best opportunity to start my professional career (in 1 month !) and I have a lot of ideas and concepts to start a company.
I know this event could be the beginning of early collaborations for my future business. Especially because, this conference will attract the best people of the Internet from all around the world.
So, please consider my comment and let me be a part of that !
(Fingers crossed)
I’m with a growing B2B web 2.0 insurance solution provider. The problem is I read TechCrunch and find so many new and exciting consumer facing businesses. I’m sick of insurance conferences! I want to go to where the interesting people are!
(Is the flight included? A ticket from LA at this point is going to be spendy!)
this is cool meen.

love
What do you get when you fall in love with Tech Crunch? You know that love is all you need. You can’t buy me love, but you can buy me a ticket to LeWeb.
Love stinks unless you are in Paris. Love me tender and give me the ticket. Love will keep us together if I join you at LeWeb. You get the best of my love in all the networking opps at the conference. I will have endless love for you if I get the ticket. There will certainly be love in an elevator before the conference ends. With the ticket I’ll know what love’s got to do with it. Let love lead the way with a ticket to LeWeb for me.
My love doesn’t cost a thing other than the ticket. I want to know what love is so let me feel it. On the wings of love I can fly to Paris. If I go I’ll be far from the one I love. LeWeb is the place to love somebody and it’s a groovy kind of love to be there.
Finally, is this the game of love or just endless love?
Baby, I need your lovin! Give me the ticket and I’ll know it’s a crazy little thing called love. Oh, the power of love! So…what now my love? Just how deep is your love.

I co-organized a tech conference in Germany myself. We had great speakers but it was much smaller, so I’d really like to see how the pros are doing it… I’m also a poor student and my former employers from amiando are coming too.
Besides that, my cute 2nd-degree cousin and my fun ex-girlfriend are both staying in Paris right now. Going to LeWeb would be a great excuse to go hang out with them, and it’s without a doubt the most interesting tech event I’ve ever heard of.
Well, that’s all the reasons I can give you for now. If I can’t make it this year, see you in 2009!
Cool party
Loic said the conference sold out… why this last minute effort to promote the conference and get people to go with a 20% discount?
I would like the free ticket for the following reasons……
1.I am Irish and Irish people normally make you laugh with their jokes/stories so I will do this at conference
2.I own a technology company where good food is key to our success. In a city such as Paris with a huge choice of fine dining establishments my knowledge of food will be essential in helping people choose restaurants.
3.Having never been to a major tech conference before I would like to make the connections and find ways of growing our business.
4.I will bring cookies
Hello,
I’m a french young entrepreneur in Paris.

I’m working on Atomeet a super easy way to organize events for anybody, and it’s done !
If you don’t believe me just try
(or read the Mashable review : http://mashable.com/2008/12/05/atomeet/)
Now I need to promote it and meet a maximum of people.
LeWeb would be a great opportunity but I can’t afforded it for the moment.
So Techcrunch free ticket would be helpfull.
Fingers crossed

amello8@gmail.com - my video comment did not allow me to leave an e-mail…. THANK YOU SANTA!!!
I need to get funding for my Start up and i guess that LeWeb @Paris will give me this opportunity…Can you think of a better place in Europe to talk about e-business? Thx Techcrunch for this chanche!
Uhu, Techcrunch is selling links to sponsors? Where´s Matt Cutts when we need him?
Dear TechCrunch this is my comment: Going to LeWeb is a dream. Once my dream becomes true I could plan my plans and decide whether or not to stick or quit my starting up ideas !
But I am really wondering, this is the third time you are posting same article and promoting the same free ticket, and I have rewrite my comments for the thid time.
Previous posts of same article were on November 14 and 21 and can be found here

I am a French entrepreneur developing my business in califronia.
I will get the techcrunch invitation for the following reason:
My model is Loic, French, entrepreneur and fun dude like myself
My company will revolutionize mass sport e-training industry
I believe Le web is a great place to find relevant contact and network to support my development.
You know what I am so confident I am taking off to france (home) this morning have book my hotel and diner party!
I can’t be out of the deal, can I?
Like many Techcrunch readers, I am a young entrepreneur, currently in Paris for the month. The truth is Le Web is pretty expensive for a young startup looking for funding. So, we got enough for 1 ticket, and our CTO got to go. And let’s be honest, he is not really a marketing person, and doesn’t know how to sell. So, to get the best out of our ticket, I need to come along. In each startup, you have the tech guy, and the cool, fun, and energetic marketing guy
For us, Le Web is the best opportunity to meet investors, and cool entrepreneurs. And the program is great, and I’m sure we can learn a lot. There is not a lot of great tech events in Paris, so I don’t want to miss it.

Why me ? I have a business idea, music-related, for an internet start-up. But, sadly, there is one thing you don’t really learn in French business schools (at least mine, I won’t say the name
), it is entrepreneurship. So for me, Le Web would be great to learn what building a startup is all about, learn from the best people in the business, mingle with entrepreneurs, start building my network, and so much more. So, I hope to be there among all of you. And who knows, my startup might be featured in the next Le Web.
Thanks for considering my comment. Hope to see you at Le Web.
Ps: I’m in Paris.

cause I deserve it
“Elle est debout sur mes paupières
Et ses cheveux sont dans les miens,
Elle a la forme de mes mains,
Elle a la couleur de mes yeux,
Elle s’engloutit dans mon ombre
Comme une pierre sur le ciel.
Elle a toujours les yeux ouverts
Et ne me laisse pas dormir.
Ses rêves en pleine lumière
Font s’évaporer les soleils,
Me font rire, pleurer et rire,
Parler sans avoir rien à dire”

I would like to take back information and vision of all the cool speakers.
Thanks.
connecting asia with europe and the us of a, is the reason i wish to attend … have been investigating the online world in korea, china, india, this year, and wish to make comparisons with europe.
there are almost no attendees from asian countries, looking at the guest list .. so i wish to bring my 14 years of experience in asia to paris for a couple of days and lots of conversations ..
enjoy, gregory lent at zenbe dot com

As a Dutch new media student I think it is rediculous that researchers with a good motivation and probably the most interesting, creative, fresh and critical input can not get in for free! We are the future of this whole industry, and how the hell will an average student be able to pay the rediculous pre-creditcrunch-leveraged price of a million Euros?!
I will be driving to Paris anyway, all the way from Amsterdam. As I am soon moving to China this event is a good oportunity for me to catch up with some people I have met for my dissertation on web 2.0 in China. I just HAVE to get in, there is no way I will not get in, will sell my pinky, toe or kidney to get in if I have to. Or you guys just give me a ticket, saves me the hassle and time plus I would really appreciate it, which of course, makes you guys feel good about yourselves. Whatever, its up to you.
Any news about who will get the ticket ?
And don’t worry, if you pick me, I’ll be there tomorrow at 8am. It’s only 3 metro stations away from my home…
A great opportunity to learn about great people, and apply their inspiration to teach to my people on Latin American market.
There is no good reason why you should help me to get to TechCrunch. I have no idea what to highligt from my life and skills, I dont know what would help me beat all the other people. The only thing I know is, that this conference would be lifetime experience for me and I would sign my soul(ok at least part of it) to devil if he would promise me the ticket. But hearing all the people which are attending the conference speaking is for me as real as speaking with the mentioned devil…So anyway…wish everybody who is so lucky (or wealthy) to go, to have a great time and enjoy the TechCrunch as much as they can:)
