Many thanks to Julien Codorniou, a blogger and Microsoftee who very kindly invited a dozen student-bloggers to the event, my humble self included. Indeed, I’ll be on Tuesday night at Microsoft’s Paris office on ‘rue de l’Université’ to attend a, IE-Club lecture with the most prominent French Internet entrepreneurs. Check this out:
Pierre CHAPPAZ, Founder of KELKOO, Chairman WIKIO & Co-CEO NETVIBES
Tariq KRIM, CEO NETVIBES
Pascal LORNE, CEO MIYOWA
Pierre KOSCIUSKO-MORIZET, CEO PRICEMINISTER
Philippe BERNA, Chairman KAYENTIS
Dominique AGRECH, Executive Committee member at XAnge Private Equity
Stephane BOBOHT, Founder of DIGIPLUG and MODELABS
Marc SIMONCINI, CEO Meetic
Impressive, uh? It raises a concern: my expectations are so high that I can only hope the content will match it.
In case you don’t understand everything (it’s all in French), do not worry. I’ll obviously keep you posted by publishing a review of the symposium very soon. And it will as usual be all in English.
For more information on the event, see this post on Julien Codorniou’s blog. And if you read this one day, thank you again Julien, for your kindness and time.
Note Bene to my Parisian fellow readers who’re actually going to the symposium: I’d be glad to meet up with you there. Don’t hesitate to give me a buzz: +33-6-87-67-00-99, ideally during lunchtime so that we can set up something. I’m already very happy to have, at last, planned a meeting with ‘blogworld friends’ Hadrien Simon and François-Albert Gandon. The more the merrier!
Enfoiré !
(Sorry, it came in french.) Have fun Jeremy and try to get connections with such people or with others it is always useful.
(That is for such a reason that I sometimes regret not to be in Paris…)

That’s why you should’ve come to HEC Paris rather than staying in Toulouse for your Master. Still, don’t worry Cédric, you’ll get some pretty exhaustive minutes of the event on this very blog soon.

[...] As promised to Julien Codorniou during the cocktail that followed the lecture (NY friends will feel some relief at last, as well as Valley angel P.K. - thanks for your encouragements, and Damien who slightly put pressure on me), here are the minutes of the lecture on ‘the rising stars of the Internet’ I went to this Tuesday, which occurred at Microsoft’s Business Center in the very center of Paris, next to Invalides (see picture, taken 2 minutes before I arrived at Microsoft).
