Open Program:
At Lift, half of the presentations (more than 50 hours of program) are managed by the community. You make the propositions, we'll review them, and the more qualitative and interactive ones are put on the program. This is called the open program and there are 2 different formats:
Workshops
Explore a topic in detail via a 1.5-2hr workshop. Past workshops include "Creating the Digital Nomad Travelpack", "Reinventing financial services for a digital century", "How to be sure to kill the game part of a serious game" and "Discover and protect your digital identity".
Open Stage
Feel like hitting the main stage in front of 1000 people to share an idea or thought? Then Open Stage is for you. Past talks include "Google Translate, Skype conferencing, and the future of my career!", "Music for dyslexic", "The end of text" and "Artypedia - The free view on Art that anyone can edit".
Speakers:
Includes: Russell Davies, Tom Armitage, James Bridle
