LIFT07 Announced

Pals Nicolas Nova and Laurent Haug announced the lineup for the upcoming LIFT07, A conference about the challenges and opportunities of technology in our society. 7-8-9 February 2007 Geneva, Switzerland

Join us next February to hear talks about the Web (Stephanie Hannon of Google, Pierre Chappaz, Sampo Karjalainen of Habbo Hotel, Lee Bryant, Colin Henderson or Daniel Kaplan), ubiquitous computing and the Internet of Things (Adam Greenfield, Anne Galloway, Daniela Cerqui, Julian Bleecker, Frédéric Kaplan), mobile technologies (Nathan Eagle, Jan Chipchase), interactive arts and design (Jan-Christoph Zoels, Régine Débatty, Christophe Guignard), entrepreneurship (Bernino Lind), Fair Economy (Paola Ghillani), Ethics (Beth Krasna), and many more topics like education, religion, the digital divide or technological overload.

More than hearing great speakers, I look forward to the special event that will be a bridge between creativity and pragmatism, gathering individuals of various backgrounds to work freely on “Digital fragility“.

Relation to my thesis: LIFT is one of the year’s best opportunity to meet the usual and unusual suspects in the domain of ubiquitous/mobile computing, Internet of Things and interactive design.
