“The Web We Found”
A decade ago, in the wake of the dotcom crash, we reinvented the web as a personal space, building on existing standards to create the blogging and social network revolutions that have overturned publishing and communications. We’ve seen companies come and go, devices rise and fall, but the core values of the web remained to underpin it all. The challenge is to ensure we don’t lose sight of these as we build for the next decade. The Indieweb principles hold up over time, and like the open standard and open source models we all now accept, give a framework where everyone’s contribution can survive.
12.30-14.00 – LUNCH BREAK
14.00 Marco Tempest, Adventurer, Scientist, Showman, Dreamer & Hero
To try to describe a Marco Tempest session would not do it justice. We are pleased to welcome Marco back to LeWeb to amaze us yet again with his extraordinary talents.
14.00 Jean-Baptiste Rudelle, Co-Founder & CEO, Criteo and Loic Le Meur, Co-Founder, LeWeb
In October, French online advertising firm Criteo raised $250 million from its U.S. IPO. The start-up became a darling among online advertisers because of their technology known as “re-targeting” which catches users who have visited a shopping website without buying anything, and then shows them ads for similar items on other sites to tempt them back. Founder JB Rudelle joins us to talk about their recent successes and the future of the ad tech space.
