I want to thank the whole LIFT organization for making this event already one of the highlights for me this year. Absolutely amazing what you guys pulled off, and hope to be back next year.

I wanted to let everyone know that I'm organizing a conference of my own, dubbed Plugg, which will be held 19 March in Brussels (Belgium).

Short and sweet: Plugg is a web & mobile 2.0 conference focused on raising awareness for European start-ups and investors willing to support emerging technology companies from this continent.

Thanks to the organization for allowing me to plug Plugg here, and see you all soon!

Just finished this morning's workshop on the Ad Hoc Business Model Stage Fight (http://www.liftconference.com/ad-hoc-business-model-stage-fight). Got to grips with some of the concepts put forward by Arvetica's Alex Osterwalder and then had creative and energizing experience developing business model in 60 minutes with great group of people. Suggest checking out the business model prototyping templates on Arvetica's site. Found the experience very useful and a great start to LIFT08. Jonathan
