LIFT09
Wednesday February 25, 2009 - Friday February 27, 2009
International Conference Center (CICG)
17 rue de Varembé
Geneva, Geneva CH - 1211 Get Directions
Lift is a series of events built around a community of doers and thinkers who get together in Europe and Asia to explore the social consequences of new technologies. Each conference is a chance to turn changes into opportunities by anticipating the major shifts ahead, and meeting the people who drive them.

We were told the future would be about mechanization, computerization, 3D flying virtual assistants, 1984-like nightmares or Asimov-inspired robots. The long-praised "21st century" itself was meant to be futuristic according to researchers and sci-fi writers. What did and did not happen? What can we learn from the predictions that never materialized to better look at the future?

Lift09 (Geneva, 25-27 Feb. 09) will look back to look ahead, exploring topics like change, solidarity, love, or design, during three days of intense networking and inspiration.

Now established as one of the best conferences of its kind in Europe - simply because they take time to produce sessions and try new talent out. I am glad the workshops on the first day (Wednesday) are also going to be at the CICG centre this year rather than all over Geneva that we saw in the past.
