Bringing our theme to life - version 2 of the LeWeb3 2007 conference program
Stuffing a great volume of content into two mere days is a daunting task. Invariably subjects get left out in the programming process, and so we have done our best to compile a wide range of topics, perspectives and voices for this year's conference.
It bears mentioning that this is not the final version of our program. Some sessions will change, a few may shift times, a couple may drop off and there is certainly room to add some more. So if there are session topics or speakers you have mind that fit within our theme ("Evolution in Technology ... Revolution in Behavior") by all means, send them along.
We also are still coordinating with several speakers for sessions that, because they are still only partially baked, have been left off the program at this stage. But from here on out things will start moving fast and furious so fasten your seat belts and get ready for rapid acceleration with updates on the program - including audio and video interviews with some of our speakers - as well as details of our evolving start-up competition.
With that, I give you version 2 of our conference program for LeWeb3 2007.

Hi guys,
For the people who are abroad and won't be able to participate to the meeting, that would great if you posted some streaming videos of the conference...
Thanks
ALbert

Is is one of them?
