Exciting conference! Loic le Meur at his best. The Usual Suspects turned up, a definite Highlight was Martin Varsavsky. But they even had Simon Peres come and the inevitable - at least if it’s campaign time in France and it’s Loics home turf - Sarkozy, who delivered a remarkably expectable speech in French to 50% international audience.
We boostrocketed as http://www.sevenload.com because we grabbed the microphone a couple of times, and I was positively surprised to see that sevenload and denkwerk and qype

Another interesting encounter was a SEC-enforced very tacit Lars Hinrichs on the OpenBC/XING IPO, there’s one man who knows the pitfalls of Stock Market Law and will not put himself in a spot.
