We are busy finalizing the event and here are the latest news:

- the program is now final. We have one of the coolest schedule we have ever created. Cool in two ways: we managed to invite amazing speakers, but we also managed to have a good rhythm with enough time to take questions, long breaks for networking, etc...

- we are nearing 300 participants and received 80 (!) registrations today. We would love to have 350, just like at the first ever lift. Monday should be a busy day. Welcome to Korea, where there seems to be a different sense of what "last minute" means ;) And if you check the participants roster you will notice it does not show 300 persons because we had some users to edit and re-add in a batch that will run Monday morning, when our ticketing partner Amiando reopens.

- the weather is really nice these days, and the forecasts for next week are ok. Expect temperatures around 25 degrees (yes, it's summer in Jeju :) and a dry weather. Knock on wood!

- the media coverage starts and we will have 2 TV stations, 5 of Korea's top bloggers, and around 10 journalists covering the event. That's great for a first year. If you look back at the press coverage we got since 2005 you will notice that the first European Lift was not covered by that many people.

- we are enjoying Korea, trying great food, visiting amazing places, taking millions of pictures... Great time :) We can't wait to welcome you here!
