About the web2day:
After four yearly editions, the Web2Day has become a core event for digital economy and web actors in the Pays de la Loire area.
While it is more and more oriented towards international activities, the 2012 event will take place during two days: startups, investors, institutional members, national and international experts will come to debate during conferences, workshops, pitches, showrooms and business sessions.
The objective in the years to come is to position the Web2Day as a major event on the national and European Startup scene. The 2012 edition will very much focus on this. Live video conferences with San Francisco, foreign and major French speakers will encourage the new positioning.
