The first Lift10 workshops are in, and we have high quality speakers to share their knowledge with the audience:

Business Model Innovation for Start-ups, Corporations and Social Entrepreneurs

Alexander Osterwalder
In this workshop you will learn how to systematically develop innovative business models. The workshop is based on Business Model Generation, a new book developed with 470 business model innovation practitioners around the world. We will allow participants to start “practicing” the design of a business model during the workshop in a breakout session.

Surviving the crash: With preparation and backup

Alexander Finger
Do you remember Journalspace? Journalspace was an online community which died within a few seconds. The tale is that a disgruntled employee ensured that the databases were swiped out, that there was no backup and that that was the end of it.
In this workshop I'll give you some practical ideas about how to secure your applications and data, what to back up, how, and if the time allows it I'll show a real-world example of server backup using Amazon's S3 service and how to design your own safety net.

Travel 2.0

Matthias Luefkens
Is there a future for the printed travel guide? Lonely Planet, Rough Guide or Let's Go, the iconic backpackers accessory of the 1980s and 90s backpackers is about to be replaced by the smartphone. Will the Iphone replace the printed guidebooks? Google Goggles, Wiki Travel, Tripadvisor what are tomorrow's sources for travel information? Will Twitpic replace traditional postcards?

Workshops promise to once again be one of the most celebrated form of presentation at Lift. We have qualitative and diverse content, just like in 2008 and 2009. To propose a workshop login and click here.
