We proudly received the confirmation of the City of Geneva Administrative Council support for Lift10.
Nouvelles technologies: la Ville de Genève apporte son soutien à la Conférence LIFT
Le Conseil administratif a décidé d'apporter son soutien à la cinquième Conférence LIFT, qui se tiendra à Genève du 5 au 7 mai 2010. La Ville de Genève, cité innovante et tournée vers les nouvelles technologies, financera notamment vingt «bourses» qui seront accordées à dix étudiant-e-s en Suisse et dix étudiant-e-s à l'étranger, qui pourront ainsi prendre part à cette conférence.
Du 5 au 7 mai prochain, l'association LIFT organisera au Centre international de conférences Genève (CICG) sa cinquième conférence internationale, qui devrait accueillir un millier de participant-e-s provenant d'une quarantaine de pays. Les thèmes abordés seront les défis actuels et les solutions créatives en rapport avec les nouvelles technologies de l'information et de la communication.
Créée en 2006, LIFT existe désormais en Europe et en Asie. L'association a pour but de permettre aux acteurs et actrices d'un monde qui n'a jamais changé aussi vite de se saisir du potentiel transformateur des nouvelles technologies. Chaque conférence offre la possibilité de comprendre les effets de l'innovation sur la société, et de transformer le changement en opportunité.
Thanks to Pierre Maudet and his colleagues for recognizing and supporting our work to make our city and region more dynamic, creative and attractive!
We're getting closer to conference time, with exactly 2 months before doors open!
As we mentioned in an earlier blog post, Lift10 falls in the same week as a large international aviation expo with 10,000 participants. Therefore we recommend that you book your hotel as soon as possible.
We have put some rooms on hold in a selection of convenient hotels for you. Quite a few of these options expire on the 31st of March, so the quicker you book, the greater your choice :)
Below is a quick overview of the hotels. Geneva Tourism has set up a dedicated Lift10 booking website through which you can conveniently make your bookings. You can access these offers on this link in English and in French
Most of these hotels are close to the Geneva Main Station, which is a 10-minute tram ride from the conference venue (the CICG).
