LeWeb founder Loic Le Meur is bringing the event to London on the 19-20 June and I am pleased to announce my support as part of his extended team.
LeWeb has achieved awesome success, bringing together more than 3,500 attendees from 76 countries for the December 2011 event in Paris, with speakers including Eric Schmidt (Google), Kevin Rose (Milk Inc), Wendy Leas (Get Satisfaction), Daniel Ek (Spotify), Brian Chesky (Airbnb) and Bill Gross (IdeaLab) taking centre stage. If LeWeb is new to you, please check out the short video below to get an idea of what it's all about.
LeWeb events bring superstar tech founders and investors from the US and Europe together to share their experiences and journeys. They also allow the rising stars of tomorrow to get up on stage and present their brilliant products. At LeWeb not only will you hear some amazing stories from the speakers onstage, you will also have the opportunity to network with other entrepreneurs and investors who will be joining the exclusive LeWeb alumni. The speaker list for LeWeb’12 London is growing every day. Here are a few that grabbed my attention: Leah Busque (Founder of TaskRabbit), Paul Davidson (Founder & CEO of Highlight), Phil Libin (CEO of Evernote), Mike Arringinton (Crunchfund) and Alexis Tsosis (Writer from Tech Crunch). Tickets for the event are discounted until 15 March, so if you would like to join the LeWeb community I would urge you to sign up as soon as possible. LeWeb'12 Tickets

Over the last couple of months a number of the PIU's members have asked my team to provide them with some inspiration as to how procurement can get more involved in revenue generation. So when I met with David Brown, CEO and Founder of Oxygen Finance, earlier in the month, I was keen to report back on his thoughts as to how procurement could move from the back office, focused on cost savings, to an income-earning front office function.
