A record 104 participants have registered for Lift10 eight months from the event, thanks to all of you :)

As this year everything seems to happen a bit more in advance, we decided to already open workshops suggestions, and Alexander Finger made Lift10's first proposition, a workshop titled Surviving the crash: With preparation and backup. If you are registered for the conference you can already signup to attend Alex's presentation next spring in Geneva!

We are now accepting propositions for the Open Program, so if you have something to share with the Lift Asia 09 participants, now is the time to make your proposition! The rules are similar to last year:

• Propositions are reserved to registered participants.
• Presentations slots are attributed on a first come first serve basis
• We have 18 slots available
• Please no product or service pitches, no self-promotion

All the information you need and more is available here.

We have now closed propositions for both workshops and open stage. Thanks to those who took time to submit a proposal, we received more than 20 quality submissions and will announce the final program next Monday.

If you want to lead a discussion you can still make a proposition, it is the last part of the program that is still open so take the opportunity!

We have now received 12 workshops propositions for Lift France and propositions are now closed. Please review all submissions and register for the presentations you would like to attend. Attendance is only possible if you are a Lift France 09 registered participant.

Visit the Lift France workshops page for more information.

The Open Program propositions are now open for Lift France.

Do you want to hold a workshop? Do you want to present in the open stage? Want to discuss with the community during a birds of a feather session? Make your propositions now!

For the second year we will organize informal discussions during around themes chosen by the participants. Called Birds of a Feather, four sessions will happen on Thursday and Friday during the morning and afternoon breaks.

If one of these themes interest you, signup for the session in advance so that the facilitator can better prepare the discussion. It is the same procedure than workshops, click on the title and signup at the bottom of the page.

We have updated the program with the Open Stage talks and the Birds of a feather sessions. If you happen to speak or moderate a session you can now find out when you will be expected by the audience :)

The program of workshops is now 99% final. We only have one slot available at 13:45, and if I am insisting that much on this it is because if we get the final proposition before tonight, we will be able to add all workshops to the printed program.

Propose a workshop!

Dear Lifters, if you do not so far, please vote for your favorite Open Stage today, we are closing the voting tonight!

We have 15 workshops scheduled at this point. Remember that we are functioning under a new principle: first come first served! So if you want to run a workshop at Lift09 I suggest you propose it before it is too late, and too late might be before the end of the week.

Here are the currently available workshops:
