5 ideas to improve @leweb 2010

LeWeb10 - 5 Ideas to improve leweb - European Internet Conference I attended to #leweb08 and #leweb09 Thanks to @geraldine and @loic. It really changed my objectives and helped me to start to think more as an innovator than a consumer of the system. We made a dedicated website and organized few workshops in my school about some topics we have seen at LeWeb. A big change for young entrepreneurs. As @loic said in #leweb09 in his conclusion "We aim at perfection" so here's 5 ideas that I thought it would worth to share. Let me know what do you think about it? LeWeb10 - 5 Ideas to improve leweb - Entrepreneurs Conference
1. More about "What Is Going On in Asia?" Discovering and then following "what the Valley/States is thinking" is amazing. Mike Arrington, Marissa MayerTony Hsieh, Chris Brogran, etc are really great. But I'm wondering what the Asians thinkers are doing. We all know they are fast, smart, and pro-efficient. But apparently to quiet. It might important if not crucial to know what is going on there? 2. Is there a way to make it more interactive? In 2009, Gary Vaynerchuk was begging Loic to organize a Q&A. Meanwhile there's Techcrunch Disrupt Conference trying new ideas to get the public involved. So how can we do it? Red-light remotes won't make the trick but maybe something easier? Green and red paper with a optic eye? 3. Touch more french students, we're missing the reality of the world. I personnaly discovered Ted.com with Chris Anderson at Leweb08, then I started watching every weeks few conferences and then most of my schoolmates followed. During a workshop, I realized that only 50% of my schoolmates know this website. A 20min interesting talk a day can be better than a 8-hour boring course. Plus I think students (more than entrepreneurs) need to hear those talks, we will create the future. School give answers instead asking questions and it cut off our hope in innovation and creativity. Why not give a student discount only if they organize something in their school to talk about what they have seen and understood about entrepreneurship. Plus it's free marketing for the event. Plus it shows that Leweb is caring even more about the future of France. Plus it might have amazing consequences. 4. Have a Real Video Library LeWeb is becoming BIG and starts to archive a bit of videos. I still watch videos of people and ideas I want to listen again. However it's hard. LeWebParis Youtube's Channel and the USTREAM TV doesn't have titles, categories and descriptions. TED.com does and makes it amazingly easier and more accessible. Again this is about giving access to something that deserves to be heard. "Ideas Worth Spreading" right? Can't we find a way to sort them better? 5. Let The New People Talk Talks at LeWeb are amazing. That's true. LeWeb09 had some new awesome people like Chris Pirillo and Queen Rania. I think it has been already said in 2009, but we start to recognize too much people. Maybe LeWeb needs to look for new people, as I said, maybe Asians? Students? Or just simply a whole set of new people? Others ideas?
  • A sustainable theme? Most of us use huge server farms, maybe it worth to share how to save energy? Promote the companies which are specialized?
  • Workshops a bit less technical?
  • What others ideas do you have?
Conclusion I love this event, we meet great people, hear great talks and above all it's in France. Loic left France because everything is happening in the US and he is giving a chance to our entrepreneurs to be face to new challenges. But we need to improve it, because "We Aim At Perfection" ? Right @loic?
