LIFT and friends
The news is out: we are forming a nine events alliance (LIFT, Reboot, DLD, SIME, Kinnernet, Aula, Picnic, BLOGAK, LeWeb) to further develop our conferences and start working more closely together. This move was really needed to make the events better, simpler to attend, and coordinated in terms of date and topics covered. Concrete actions will become apparent in the coming months, we are still working on the structure and name of the alliance, but you get the idea, and it is a major MAJOR step in the development of LIFT and, we hope, the development of this continent as a place were creativity and innovation happens.
More details can be found in the LIFT press center.

One small step for each conference, one giant step for Europe!
Congratulations. Coordination between conferences will make it easier to attend them. Knowledge exchange will certainly be of great value to all of you.

It was lost in translation between the French and the English press release, but the idea is to grow the alliance as soon as the initiatives have been stabilized.
