Welcome to Lift Asia 08

About

Lift is a new kind of event made of keynotes, public sessions, and art installations creating a special atmosphere facilitating inspiration and networking. Lift takes place on two continents - Europe and Asia - and gathers a global community of doers and thinkers getting together to discuss and anticipate the social impact of new technologies.

Lift Asia theme: "Beyond The Web Browser?"

At the end of a decade during which the internet revolutionized our lives and organizations, the network is now moving beyond the browser, invading objects, cities, toys, cars or medical devices. Where will the next big changes happen? What are the world's most innovative people working on right now?
