SIMULTANEITY IN VIENNA (CONFERENCE 19-20 MARCH)
“Gone is the time where can just focus on technology, or political change, or personal change. The challenge of the times require tackling all aspects of change simultaneously”. Thailand-based Michel Bauwens, founder of the Peer to Peer Foundation, always has something wise and interesting to say. His keynote talk at the Lift conference in Vienna on 19 March is about “an integrative approach to enabling open infrastructures (and) value-driven social practices…we need to change ourselves, as well as our ability to cooperate in groups”.
INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE IN VIENNA
Vienna, Austria, March 18-20, 2010
Drinkomathallen, Hütteldorf/Vienna
This international conference will bring together people, organizations and networks who want to ENABLE “game changing” innovation and break down the barriers of the status quo. A multidisciplinary gathering of Doers, Thinkers, Creators, Citizens and Change-makers will be addressing domains such as information technology, design, architecture, sociology, economy, philosophy and city planing in the context of innovation and sustainability.
In close partnership with the international LIFT-network we are expecting brilliant speakers, inspiring talks and fruitful workshops.
The conference will take place in an early 20th century factory building, which is to be transformed into a creative cluster within the next years. This site in transition provides a stimulating environment to introduce novel conference formats which stimulate interaction, learning and the creation of new knowledge. Attendees are to be asked to co-create the convention, so suggest a speech or a speaker!
Visit the website to

We hope to see you in Vienna next spring!
