We are now accepting registrations for LIFT Asia 08!
Tickets start at 250$ for startups, students and NGOs with a normal price of 650$. We are still finalizing the payment interface - quite tricky in Korea where people use a completely different set of payment systems - so you can not yet pay online but you can save your seat to listen to and meet the likes of Scoble, Jeffrey Huang, Christian Lindholm, Takeshi Natsuno (the inventor of NTT Docomo's imode) or Dan Dubno in one of the planet's most beautiful spot.

Save your seat now!

For once we have the dates of LIFT09 one year in advance, and we are moving later in the month of February to create a bit more time between DLD, Davos, TED (happening early February in 2009) and LIFT.

Save the dates: LIFT09, 25-26-27 February 2009 in Geneva, Switzerland.

And prepare for a few early announcements as we already confirmed a few speakers who couldn't make it to 2008 but promised to be with us in 2009.

Tonight I just found almost 3’000 pictures…. under LIFT08 tag! If you really want to find your portrait, that nice and particular moment you have in mind, I suggest you check LIFT’s flickr account.

The pictures on this account were taken by our VETERANS photographers, the official from LIFT : David Gagnebins de bons,Sonia Channel, John, Ben, Geraldine…Bread and butter team and a few friends.

You’ll find the SOLO USER photos, SPEAKERS PHOTOS, LIFTEXPERIENCE PROJECTS…even last edition pictures.

Well…if don’t find what you’re looking for there…then….well, then you have to search around!

Hope this will help you all!

The TSR is uploading the videos as they get edited. Check nouvo.ch/liftvideo regularly for more presentations. Here is Jonathan Cabiria's presentation.

We have received 50 more registrations today (mostly press, partners, etc...) and are nearing 700 attendees (the numbers on the participants list don't reflect the actual situation as we have many people showing up without proper LIFT accounts.

Registrations are now officially closed.

We can NOT accept further participants because of one reason: the venue we have for the fondue can not hold more people. Please pass the news around you. Every person who shows up unregistered at the door and gets turned down ends up with a very bad experience, and we want to do our best to prevent that. The videos will be online soon!

Here are day one addresses, and what I recommend you do:

9:00 Come to Uni Mail for the morning workshops
12:00 Lunch in town, the team will be happy to provide restaurants recommendations
14:00 Afternoon workshops start, still at Uni Mail

17:00 End of workshops, move to the Salle Communale de Plainpalais (500m from Uni Mail) for a drink and networking
18:00 Start of the Venture Night
19:30 End of day cocktail and drinks

Online registrations are now closed. But there will be some few tickets available to buy on site Wednesday at Uni Mail and Thursday at the conference center. I you still need a ticket hurry up, first comes first served:)

We just reached 600 participants, that's 50 more than last year, and we expect that number to go up in the coming hours. Thanks to all of you who are supporting LIFT and a special thought for all those traveling to Geneva today.

We will close the online ticketing system at 5pm today. If we have enough spare tickets we might accept on-site registration but there is no guarantee this will be possible at this point.

Do you know a good interpreter who could turn 30 minutes of French into English? We will have one presentation in French - Eric Favre, inventor of the Nespresso system - and have all the hardware in place at the conference center. We just need someone to do the interpretation. Please email info @ liftconference or use comments below if you could recommend someone.
