Le Web in Paris is next week, and it’s one of the best lineup of speakers I’ve seen at a conference in a long time. This isn’t just Europe’s most important tech event any more. Le Web is turning into a must-attend event for people around the world. We’re going to give away two tickets to the event today, find out how to get them below.

I’ll be there (all week actually). TechCrunch Europe is partnering with Le Web on their startup competition, and I’m moderating two sessions. The first is a platform roundtable with Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, MySpace, Ning, Six Apart and Ustream. And I’ll also be interviewing Google’s Marissa Mayer on stage again this year (here’s our interview last year).

The full agenda is here. Attendance will be at least as high as last year’s 1,750, says the organizers.

If you’d like one of the free tickets, please leave a comment below telling us your funniest or saddest story on why you need to attend but can’t afford the ticket. Remember that you have to get yourself to Paris and find somewhere to sleep on your own dime. See you there!
