First of all, congratulations to the team of LIFT. You have worked like fools and loved like giants, and I do feel very loved and privileged by being part of such an event. Each and every LIFT for the past three years has changed my life in one way or another. This year my personal insights started to pour in some time during the wee hours of Saturday while roaming the streets and clubs of Geneva.
However this feedback is not about me and my belly button or my fictional diversions that are so very entrenched in my own narrative, this is about the part that I usually send to Laurent via email, but that now needs to go on the public record. I already gave Laurent one big hug on Friday afternoon.
You guys - the LIFT team - must know that I have some experience with dealing with other events of this nature and that I have deep appreciation and respect for the immensity of the work that goes behind the scenes. Thank you all for the effort, the lost sleep, the raw nerves and what is invariably the unavoidable fatigue.
So here is what I liked about this year and what I did not like.
