LeWeb is coming on Wednesday for it’s second edition in London. And what is great about it, is all the energy it brings around it for the city it take place in. No wonder London wanted it’s own LeWeb. A good way to see the expression of that energy are the side events which are organized around LeWeb. We made this list for LeWeb Paris past december so here is the one for LeWeb London this week.
As usual, we’re organizing our own event LeWeb Student Warm-Up on Tuesday, June 4th, but there are other events going on:
Monday June 3rd, 6.30.pm
Robert Scoble aka @scobleizer Startup Liaison officer at Rackspace and ‘global tech Guru’ is in town for LeWeb London. He will be giving a keynote on the ‘Age on Context’.
This event is tonight so hurry up there might not be a lot of tickets left scobleizer.eventbrite.co.uk
Tuesday June 4th, 2.30.pm
This one is our own event ;). Targeting students but open to everybody. Student Warm-Up has both the goal to increase the number of cross-country initiatives for students interested in entrepreneurship and encourage more students to go to major conferences like LeWeb, with talks from speakers of such events.
Hosted at Mother At The Trampery, there will be talks of two LeWeb speakers, Nicolas Brusson (Blablacar) and Reshma Sohoni (Seedcamp) as well as an Open-mic for student projects at the end.
The event is free for students and under-26 and if you’re over-26 and you happen to read this blog post, the event is free for you as well if you register using this link.
