LIFT08 update

Things are moving, as in really moving, on the LIFT08 front. The event is getting bigger and bigger as we welcome more partners, speakers, participants, etc… A quick roundup if you haven’t checked the conference website in a while:

  • We added two events to the agenda of the conference: a sustainable development night and a startup contest.
  • Bruce Sterling, Pierre Bellanger and Paul Barnett joined our already impressive programme. Bruce opening the conference with a 30 minutes address on the state of the Internet will surely be one of the highlights of the conference, don’t be late!
  • We have 120+ registered participants which is the most we’ve ever had at this time of the year.
  • I saw the new brand and poster, it looks fantastic and will become one of the most viral posters ever. But I can not say more now, the bread and butter folks are still putting the finishing touch to all this.

If you have three minutes I did a small video for the LIFT08 facebook group that you can also see on Youtube here.
