Beside team communications, this blog features posts written by community members. If you have a Lift account you can also share your thoughts and ideas by clicking here. Here is a post introducing Palomar5, an initiative of Lifter Hans Raffauf to gather young entrepreneurs in Berlin for 6 weeks.

Palomar5 is a project initiated by a group of 6 young Germans and Deutsche Telekom's Product and Innovation Unit, whose aim is to involve young people in a new format of innovation. Palomar5 isn't a think-tank or a conference, it wants to produce more than ideas, to create tangible solutions within an intensive creative space.

At the core of this initiative is a 6 week camp that brings together 30 people under the age of 30. They will live and work together in a unique 2000sqm space from October 9th till November 21st in Berlin.

The topic is the future of innovation, technology and the working environment. The content streams we will be working on are Leadership, Collaborative Value Creation, Knowledge Cultivation, Corporate Communication & Behaviour, The next Generation of Identity, Intellectual Property, Skills Management.

From April 2-4 more than 800 bloggers, netizens, and media creators will gather in Berlin for the 2nd edition of the Re:publica conference. The 2008-theme will be "the critical mass". In over 100 talks, panels and workshops the conference will address the social and cultural impact of blogs, wikis, and social networks and discuss social media that rely on the interaction between people. The conference will be held mostly in German. If you are in Berlin these you can register here.
