tickets

Since 2006, kids have been welcomed to Lift. Speakers like Robert Scoble came with their whole family, we had our own kids enjoying the Lift experience, members of the CICG staff brought their children to the conference so they could see the conference center taken over by all the artists and startups.

At lunch today we decided to go public and make it official: kids below 16 can come to Lift free. Under their parent's responsibility (we will provide no supervision), kids can accompany registered participants to the conference to see the talks and the displays in the Lift experience.

If you would like to bring your offspring to the conference, please email kids@liftconference.com and tell us who is coming, we will prepare a badge and let's rock!

This offer is limited to the first 50 applications.

We have moved the deadline for early bird tickets for 10 days, they are now available until May 30!

One of the reasons is that we just sent a mailing to all past attendees these last 2 days and we want to give enough time to react.

More information on Lift11 tickets can be found here. Join us in Marseille to meet international speakers who not only offer prospective and disruptive visions, but also act upon these visions and will share their endeavors with us. You can expect both a glimpse of near-future challenges and opportunities, as well as actionable knowledge and experience.

It has been a recurrent request for the past years: creating the possibility to attend only part of Lift. We now offer this possibility and you can target specific days you would like to attend. Check the program, choose the days you want to attend, and !

Don't forget that the Lift11 early bird tickets are available until this week-end only. Don't miss the deadline and get your ticket at only 590chf instead of 900!

In case you haven't seen the program, we will talk about "Re-organization (the changing workplace)", "Engaging users with games", "Building and managing communities", "Community mining (new forms of business intelligence)" and many more presentations on trends and inspiring projects. The currently confirmed speakers are below:

We have moved the deadline for early bird tickets one week. Several reasons for that, the main being that we confirmed eight speakers in the past three days and did not have time to communicate about them with the community.

We will also send a mailing to all past attendees on Monday, so once this has been done the early bird can be closed on October 8 at Midnight.

Nos partenaires de Radio Grenouille à Marseille tirent au sort trois tickets pour Lift with Fing 10. Pour participer répondez à la question "pour vous le web a changé quoi dans votre vie ?" et envoyez la réponse à je grenouille888.org.

Les trois meilleurs réponses gagneront un ticket qui permettra d'assister aux trois jours de conférence du 5. au 7. Juillet au Grand théâtre de la Criée :)

Here comes a new idea: we know some of you would like to contribute to the conference via your network, ideas or time. We know paying CHF850 to register is not always easy, that you might have missed the super early bird price, and that the student, volunteer or startup tickets do not work for everybody.

So let's experiment with something new: the value exchange ticket. Can you convince Steve Jobs to come keynote at Lift? Can you promote the conference to the one million members of your online community? Do you know the CEO of a big company who would love to become a partner of a conference like Lift? If yes, tell us what you plan to do, we will evaluate your proposition and give you a corresponding discount on the entry price!

This is completely beta, and it might sometimes create a bit of unwanted frustration (typically when you want to propose a speaker for a conference without knowing that we finalize 90% of our program six months in advance). But, we are always eager to try new things, and we believe our community is full of good people who will make the most of this new way to attend Lift10.

Important reminder: the early bird price (650chf) is closing this Saturday, Dec. 26. Get your ticket now to pay 50% of the price it will cost you in April! We are closing on 200 participants, a huge boost from a year like 2007 when we had 100 registered participants one month from the conference (which ended-up hosting 650 persons). But we want to make sure all the self employed/independents who pay their tickets themselves get in at the cheapest price. So hurry up, and choose the pre-payment option if you have to wait for Santa to bring you a bit of cash. It will buy your ticket now, and give you a few more weeks to make a bank transfer. Register for Lift10.

On the student passes front, we received 13 propositions so far, which means at this point 100% of registrants will get their free ticket, and seven will not be used. Don't let that happen! Because they are scheduled early, the student passes always attract around 30 propositions, which means 66% of submitters get a free ticket. Propositions close on January 15, and all you need to do is take five minutes to fill the online form.
