Here is the day I just had:

• 8h: Meeting at Hotel Intercontinental to hammer out last minute details with a LIFT partner
• 9h: Meeting to prepare press conference
• 9h45: LIFT08 press conference starts, we welcome around 15 journalists, more than twice the number of people who showed up for LIFT06.
• 11h30: Press conference ends, I open my gmail to find 55 messages
• 12:30: lunch
• 14: Final meeting at the CICG to check everything is fine.
• 15h30: Interview on World Radio Switzerland, followed by a meeting to review potential stories in the program.
• 17h: Email and accreditation of journalists.
• 18h: LIFT Nouvo debate starts, third time I talk about LIFT in public, I try to avoid repeating the same stuff all over again.
• 20h30: I listen to my voice mail to find the RSR calling for an interview. I call back and it’s (fortunately) too late.
• 20h45: Cool, we have 499 participants! I update the website with the latest info (workshops, venture night, etc…)
• 22h: Review of the program before it goes to print.
• 0h43: Still reviewing, train tomorrow at 8, and I just thought I would blog this just to show what kind of work it takes to put together LIFT. And I am only one member of a team of 25 people.

Have a good night :)
