London calling: LeWeb returns to the UK to explore the new sharing economy

This summer, LeWeb’13 is returning to London with some of the most influential people from around the internet world. The theme for the event is The New Sharing Economy’, or what some people refer to as ‘collaborative consumption’.

The LeWeb’13 speakers and delegates in attendance will be chewing over all the hot topics, debates and dilemmas bubbling to the surface of the industry right now. They will also be exploring the impact some of the latest startups are having, as they disrupt business models such as public transportation through to hospitality.

Typical of all great events like LeWeb, the opportunities to network with fellow industry professionals and perhaps meet groups from exciting niche areas, is huge. In addition, you will get to meet the finalists for this years Startup Competition.
