We are very proud that Paulo Coehlo as already confirmed is participation as a keynote speaker for the 2008 edition.

We will again have hundreds of startups presenting, a great line up of world class speakers (previous years include French President Sarkozy, Philippe Starck, President Shimon Peres but also many Internet movers and shakers...) and plenty of networking space, with beds, like last year. Okay we only had only one bed last year we will add more...)

LIFT is more than a conference! Beyond the opportunity to listen to some of today’s most influential minds, you can also talk during the open stage sessions or share and learn with others during a pre-conference workshop. And for the first time in 2007, LIFT+ was added to the concept. It is a living and creative platform intended to develop new ideas through active interaction between the participants.

LIFT has a simple goal: connect people who are passionate about new applications of technology and propel their conversations into the broader world to improve life and work.
