It is important to stay in Jeju after Lift Asia so you can enjoy the island, and join the speakers' surf session! It's a little known fact, but Jeju has good waves, and a couple of shops where one can rent a board and do a few tricks in the water. I promised myself I will try next year!

Lift Asia's traditional venue is located in Jeju island via Google Maps, a famous Korean tour spot. Its nature is very beautiful and one of top world tour spots although people don't know well.

Jeju is a volcanic island far from 130 km from the southern coast of Korea. The island contains the Natural World Heritage Site entitled Jeju Volcanic Island and Lava Tubes.

Mt. Hallasan, the tallest mountain in South Korea and a dormant volcano rises 1,950m above sea level and 360 satellite volcanoes are around all of island. You can feel different kinds of plants by level from subtropics to cold zone. (Volcanoes were already dead and not dangerous. They are covered by green glasses and trees with some of volcanic outcrops.)

It also has beautiful emerald colored beaches with black volcanic rocks and white sands. I have been in Miami beach in US, but both is almost similar except length of beach.

Recently Jeju island was listed in a finalist of New 7 wonders of Nature that includes top 28 natural spots in the world. If you visit Jeju via Seoul, you can also experience the 3rd. busiest routes in the world.

MBC, Jeju Special Self-governing Province Development Corporation and Jeju Free International City Development Center are the latest partners joining the conference. MBC will, just as we do in Switzerland with the Télévision Suisse Romande, provide professional capture of our speeches that will be provided online a few hours after they happen.

The Jeju Special Self-governing Province Development Corporation and Jeju Free International City Development Center help us hold the conference on the island by facilitating our presence here.

What a busy day today! Things are getting really hot with the event only 9 days away. We have around 270 persons registered (170 online, 100 via paper tickets issued to partners) and hope to match the number of participants we welcomed at our first ever conference in Europe: 350!

Join us at Lift Asia!
