They deserve it.   A year ago, Geraldine and Loic ran a very publicly criticized <a href=\"http:\/\/www.leweb.net\/\">LeWeb<\/a> to which many people swore they would not return. The main complaints were: lack of food, lack of heating and lack of connectivity.  Three event killers.  Any other event organizer would have fallen to such criticism, thrown in the towel and retire from the business.  But Geraldine and Loic are not &#8220;any other event organizer&#8221;.  They have a passion for getting people together in an atmosphere of trust and they work hard and in sync at it.  So not only they did not give up, but they came back in full force.  With the best LeWeb ever.  In the midst of a global recession, they got over 2000 participants from 46 countries. And if they manage to add more Asians to this event, they will soon have the most global internet event on the planet.  So far, I have only been to the speaker&#8217;s dinner, but I am happy to report that it was warm, there was plenty of amazing food, and there was connectivity.<\/p>\n<p>What do you do when you fall of a horse?
