Dear Lifters,

From the network mapping study we undertook of LIFT07, one participant built their network from four to 28 people during the conference. How did she do this amazing feat? I asked her to share her thoughts on getting the most out of LIFT, here are her comments:

1. Don't be afraid to listen in, hanging on the periphery and finally, jump into the conversation
2. Accept all invitations (assuming they're proper!) for drinks, dinners, presentations, whatever to increase opportunities for exchange
3. Don't forget it's only 3 days: eat, sleep and breathe it all in
4. Participate in the pre-conference workshops if possible - where you can meet people in a more informal setting.

And for the seasoned Lifter:
Break out of your clique: aim to share ideas with people outside of your network

See you at LIFT!
Glenn

Dear Lifters,

Many thanks to the 28 LIFTERs who participated in my network mapping study, during LIFT07 - it took me some time, ahem, but my study is finally finished as Laurent mentioned on the LIFT blog. It makes for interesting reading - we mapped out how networks between participants grew during the LIFT07 conference - and did they grow!

Many thanks to the 218 Lifters that completed our feedback survey. You can read my analysis of ther results in this evaluation Report (pdf). There are many interesting and curious results - Laurent has summarised some of the main conclusions on the LIFT blog.

I'm still working on the networking analysis that some of you helped me with - it will be ready in July.

Hello Lifters,

I'm sure most of you have already received an email ... but we would really appreciate your feedback on LIFT07 and your ideas for lIFT08 by completing our online survey.

We already have over 80 responses so thanks very much. We did have some emails from Lifters that couldn't "submit" the survey on the last page. Very frustrating and we are sorry for that and looking into it.

Thanks again for your feedback,
Glenn
