Hi Lifters, further to my suggestion the other day, the first post-Lift Lifters meetup (to my knowledge) took place yesterday. Stephanie and Julien who I both already knew came and I had the chance to meet Claude and Nicholas. We had a very nice evening talking about our Lift experiences of course but not only (I learnt a lot about tv series!).

I don't want to report here everything we've discussed but I definitely like this type of informal meetups with people sharing the Lift-spirit.

Apparently, three other Lifters from Zürich like the idea too and are going to meet later this month. I'm looking forward to hearing from them.

Last but not least, several other Lifters contacted me with encouraging comments even though they could not make it yesterday. This could be a good excuse to organise another meetup sometime soon and to get to know even more Lifters!

Lift was an amazing experience again. Thank you to the team for this wonderful conference. Actually, after attending my 3rd Lift, I confirm that it is not really a conference. It's a breath of fresh air... it's a moment of magic... it's a special spirit... it's a moment during the year that has taken a special place, not only in my calendar.

This year was different from last year and from the year before. Different speakers, different attendees, different trends, different discussions and yet the outcome is always the same over the years. When you leave the CICG on Friday night, your brain and soul are filled with inspiration. A flow of energy that continues to live inside of you for days, weeks, months. So many brilliant people, so many talents, so many ideas, so many projects, so many possibilities to remember, to think about and to develop.

This afternoon, while I was chatting with another Lifter, I had the idea to extend the experience a little bit longer. Not just virtually via the community blog but in real life. No matter how active we are online, face to face contacts are still a million times richer. So why don't we gather locally for a LiftDebriefing? It could be an opportunity to share what we've experienced during these three days, what we liked, what we didn't, what we discovered, what we missed, what we hope for next year, how we are going to use the Lift experience in our lifes.

For all the Lifters of "Suisse romande" (the French speaking part of Switzerland), I suggest to meet next Tuesday for an informal LiftDebriefing. You can find the details on Facebook.

I'm looking forward to seeing you there.
