LeWeb Organizer Quote
Nothing big will come from apathy and least of all from the general pessimistic outlook. It is time to stop listening to all the doomsayers out there and focus out attention back on the opportunities to be had. 1 200 entrepreneurs and investors from 30 countries are going to pull together to create the success stories of tomorrow's web industry and go away from the LeWeb conference with a healthy dose of optimism,—Loic Le Meur MarketWatch: LeWeb '08 Conference (November 25, 2008)
