Le Web conference: As it happens

Paris (CNN) –Le Web conference, the biggest tech conference in Europe, opens in Paris Wednesday.

Since it was founded in 2008 by Seesmic creator Loic Le Meur, the conference has attracted the web's best and brightest in large numbers. About 3,000 participants from 60 countries are attending this year's event.

From Google's Eric Schmidt to Spotify founder Daniel Ek to Instagram's Kevin Systrom, the list of Le Web's speakers reads like a "who's who" of the tech world.

This year, Le Web has also landed one of fashion's biggest names on to the main stage, designer Karl Lagerfeld, pictured above.

Many Silicon Valley entrepreneurs and executives will make big announcements at Le Web and over the next two days CNN's Stephanie Busari will be at the heart of the action, blogging and tweeting from the event. Check back here for updates.  You can also follow Stephanie on Twitter.      Read More
