Press coverage coming in

February 26, 2008 - 21:51 — Laurent Haug

Thanks to 60 journalists who covered LIFT08 we are getting amazing press coverage! We had more than 50 articles since the beginning of the year (and these are the ones we found) from our local medias (Le Temps, RSR, TSR, etc...) but also the likes of BBC News, Business Week or Wired. Here are a few excerpts from the international coverage:

LIFT is one of the highlights of the technophile calendar, an opportunity to meet up with some of the most interesting people around and engage in debate about the future with those who are actually building it instead of waiting for it happen.
BBC News

Yes, everyone may be talking up the news and happenings coming out of the D.I.C.E. Summit in Las Vegas [...] but some insanely interesting ideas also came out of the LIFT conference held early last week in Geneva, Switzerland.
BusinessWeek

LIFT 08 -- where you learn something new every day. It would have been worth coming here just to hear about "Citizen Cyberscience" and "Powerpoint Karaoke."
Wired blogs

Events like the World Economic Forum at Davos, TED in Monterey and Pop!Tech in Maine are often placed in this conference superleague. The LIFT Conference in Geneva, has been steadily climbing the ranks of the elite [...]
The Journal

Thanks to all those who took time to share their thoughts in the press, on their blog, in video, or any other form of expression. And don't hesitate to forward your articles to info@liftconference.com if we missed it. We use Google News (what else?) to find articles which means we miss 90% of what is not in English or French.
