You could not make it to Geneva last week? Stayed in bed with a bad flu? Get the vaccine next year, and check the following resources to experience LIFT from your sofa.

Blog /press coverage

Some bloggers did an amazing job and it is hard to link to all of them. Head to LunchOverIP, liip, the LIFT community blog (where we had 20 students covering the talks) or Aral Balkan, then there is always Technorati or Wikio for more. And the LIFT press center has links to most articles from the printed press.

Videos

Check liftconference.com (downloadable, embeddable, mp3 and mobile versions) or nouvo.ch (embeddable, with great interviews of participants), subscription available via RSS and iTunes. The talks are getting thousands of hits a day (Paul Barnett’s video got 13′000 views in 24 hours…), check them out and pass the word! And there were so many podcasters out there (even Mobuzz TV) I can not link to all of them, use the comments to point us to your videos folks.

This year we got the question again: “why are you guys putting all the talks online, you are killing the need to attend!”. Answer is simple: our goal is to spread good ideas as far as we can, and the videos play a big role in that. And let’s get real: the value you get from a conference is usually 20% from the stage (even more when like at LIFT the talks cover a large variety of topics), 80% from the social events/networking/experience. No video will ever replace the LIFT fondue! They simply allow those who can’t come or pay the ticket to access an important part of the conference. Win win.
