What can the future do for you?
Lift works to identify and anticipate current and emerging usagesof digital technologies through research, events, publications and services.
We have 280+ registered participants on Amiando, with another 100 persons to be registered by our partners in the coming days. TheArk is sending 15 startups to the event, Alpict 10 Swiss entrepreneurs, Prof. Pierre Dillenbourg's EPFL lab has 6 doctorate students registering, then we have all the students from the institutions who are academic partners like the University of Geneva or the University of Lausanne. So as the early bird period closes we are nearing 400 participants and are on pace to reach a similar figure than last year when the conference was attended by 700 Lifters.
Every year we see the same pattern, 60% of participants register in the last 6 weeks. So the big rush should still be ahead of us. Here is a graph showing Lift07's registrations.

Can you guess when the early bird ended that year ;) ?
Now that we have created the Lift09 participants list you can see who is attending this year's conference. It's time to upload a new profile picture, and change your name to something that starts with an "A" to be on the top of the list. At least if you are a woman you can try to wed one of the first row guys, you have a very unfair advantage on me!
