The Next Web conference is one of the hottest web conferences in Europe and, like most other bloggers, I enjoy live-blogging things like this a lot.

The problem is that, during the past years, with any conference I have been to, the WiFi stopped working a couple of minutes into the day, but this year, I am prepared, thanks to Treasure My Text.

The following entries will be part recap and part personal opinion. I’m doing this out of my own free will and decided that those who couldn’t attend the conference should at least get a chance to read about it here.

Comments are disabled for now, but if you are so inclined, feel free to drop me a note via the contact section.

What a day. Exhausting but definitely worth it. Next up: Day 2 in 12 hours.
