Since I am working on the BP of my future startup, I would love to go to the Web3 in Paris i.o. to meet BA, VCs and other professionals of the Internet. I think it is one of the major events of our sector, but the entry ticket is expensive for a young entrepreneur. I hope I will win the sweesptake you're organizing. Keep up with the good work! Best, Anne Hi dear TC Team!

Because it is Le must-attend event for the whole european internet community in December. Additionally it's a great opportunity to figure out that eating Le cheese with La baguette while sipping Le red wine is no bar to having Le web 2.0 mindset. Au revoir! Why going to Le Web?

The first is to hear what other people believe the future to be. It is too easy to fall into a self-censor trap, where the view of the future is limited to what interests your friends share. Face to face meetings allow a huge amount more information exchange than any web surfing ever could. Attending LeWeb3 provides direction for where to concentrate your energy for future career plans, what technologies need to be studied and mastered, and what to keep an eye on. Par contre, it is only by physical presence and social interaction that you can influence what others think. Conferences are an ideal opportunity to share your deep convictions on technology and social interaction drawn from a lifetime of experience. It doesn't do any good if you can't give back while you are absorbing fresh ideas. Of course, there is one business reason to get into LeWeb3, to promote your website business plan to as many people as you can meet in two days and one evening. Now, LeWeb3 purposely has kept it's entry fee high to discourage small companies and independents from participating, and to ensure the upper echelon of the technorazzi isn't too disturbed by the rabble of startups with small budgets or who haven't received a first round of investment capital. Impossible to try lobbyconning at Pt. de Versailles, security is way too fascist to let anyone wait around out front without a badge. I hadn't planned on going to LeWeb3, despite being in the area, and I've already contacted friends who will be in town for the conference so we can have dinner together. But if Loïc is giving away tickets, I have no problem scribbling out five paragraphs for a chance at one. I am helping several small startups to get their business plans together, so this would be an excellent opportunity for them if I won a free ticket.

I'd definately get loads out of it. I'm very interested to find out who's doing what across Europe right now, as well as connect with some fresh blood outside of the normal London scene. I'll even volunteer to take photos on behalf of Techcrunch with my new swanky SLR, and report back from the field on a Twitter blog or in articles, if I can go. Thanks! Thayer Hi Mike,
