Here come the latest news on Lift@Austria event to take place in Vienna on March 18-20 under the guidance of Thomas Fundneider and other local entrepreneurs.

The true trans-disciplinary conference on game-changing innovation is right around the corner. In one week, we will start a journey to collaboratively generate new knowledge on the challenge, how to orchestrate and configure parameters that enable profound innovations. A gathering of true innovators, academic grounders, practitioners and social entrepreneurs will inspire and spark new insights.

Speakers

All speakers will build their input on the topic of Enabling. Intensive preparations are under way in order to adjust the talks and the design of the workshops. When we speak about workshops, we mean it. Workshop facilitators, illustrators, prototype building blocks are all there. We want to see results at the end of the day!

One of the upcoming Lift@home will happen in Vienna on March 18, an ambitious event gathering 100 participants to talk about enabling changes and innovation in society. Join us for our first Austrian event!

The lift@Austria team is happy to announce a distinguished mix of speakers to drill down the theme "Enable" from a wide range of perspectives: Florian Brody from Silicon Valley, internationally acclaimed digital media specialist, Stefan Camenzind, architect and designer of the Google Labs in Zurich, Felix Oldenburg, CEO of Ashoka Germany, the biggest social entrepreneur network worldwide and many more!

The entire 3-days are designed as one piece. The first day will be devoted to explore existing enablers, such as the HUB, StartUp Weekend and the metalab. The insights from this exploration tour will be fed into the the second day, where we start with selected speakers to frame the topic of the conference. Thereafter, you can expect a full day of intense workshops, trying to work out the different dimensions of Enabling. The results will be illustrated and displayed in a gallery.

For more information, go to the website and read the propositions or see for yourself how we want to reward excellent input/people.

Cheers!
Thomas for the organizing team!
