Lift is a series of events designed to inspire and connect individuals exploring the social impact of new technologies. Each Lift conference is a three-day event consisting of talks, workshops, interactive art, and discussions on understanding and anticipating the most important social changes, as well as meeting the people behind them.
Lift has been called by BBC News "one of the highlights of the technophile calendar", "an opportunity to meet up with some of the most interesting people around and engage in debate about the future with those who are actually building it, instead of waiting for it to happen".
Lift has held eleven events; six in Geneva (Switzerland), one in Seoul (South Korea), two in Jeju Island (South Korea), and two in Marseille (France).
Lift was founded by Laurent Haug and three co-founders (Nicolas Nova, Steven Ritchey, John Staehli), and is organized by an international team, with the support of organizations, such as, the European Commission, International Electrotechnical Commission, Microsoft, and Mozilla.

This event was supported by Jaewoong Lee, a co-founder of Daum Communications and Channy Yun as an Asian editorial.
2009
Lift held three conferences in 2009.
Lift 09 was held on February 25-27, 2009 in Geneva, Switzerland and looked back to look ahead, exploring topics like change, solidarity, love, or design, during three days of intense networking and inspiration themed around a simple question: "Where did the future go? We were told the future would be about mechanization, computerization, 1984-like nightmares or robots. What did and did not happen? What can we learn from the predictions that never materialized to better look at the future?" The conference was attended by 800 participants.
Speakers included: Vint Cerf, Roh Soh Yeong (Art Center Nabi, Korea), Ramesh Srinivasan (UCLA), Patrick J. Gyger (Maison d'Ailleurs), Oriol Pascual (ENVIU), Nicolas Nova (Lift), Melanie Rieback, Matt Webb, Juliana Rotich (GlobalVoices/Ushahidi, Kenya), Jörg Jelden (Trendbüro, Germany), Natalie Jeremijenko (UCSD, USA), James Gillies (CERN, Switzerland), James Auger (Auger-Loizeau/Royal College of Art, UK), Frank Beau, Fabio Sergio (frog design, Italy), David Rose (Vitality, USA), Clive Van Heerden (Philips Design, Netherlands), Dan Hill (Arup, Australia), Carlo Ratti (MIT, USA), Baba Wamé (Yaoundé 2 University, Cameroon), Florence Devouard (Wikimedia France and Wikimedia Foundation, France), Anne Galloway (Concordia University, Design & Computation Arts, Canada), Anab Jain (Nokia Design / Superflux, UK).
Lift France 09 was in Marseilles, June 18-19, 2009. The theme was "hands-on future", a future of do-it-yourself where citizens will be able to customize, hack and transform the objects around them.
Speakers included France Digital Economy and prospective minister Nathalie Kosciusko-Morizet, entrepreneur and writer Gunter Pauli, and Dorkbot's founder Douglas Repetto.
Lift Asia 09 was held on September 1-3, 2009 in Jeju Korea. The event's theme was "Serious Fun".
"The Internet started as platform for academics, then it became a huge business platform. Now it is an entertainment playground for users. People spend time having fun on the Social Web, access virtual worlds on their cell phones or interact with robots and networked objects. But we believe these services and platforms go far beyond mere leisure: their usage may reveal new social practices that will spread in other contexts (business, education), and the services first targeted at entertainment can lead to original innovations. This year's Lift Asia will focus on the lessons we can draw for fields such as general innovation, sociology, management, business, design and education."
2010
Lift held two major conferences in 2010.
Lift 10 happened in Geneva on May 5-7, 2010. The theme was "Connected people", featuring an improved format, with focus on audience and speakers' interaction.
Lift10 will explore the most overlooked aspect of innovation: people. Known in techno-parlance as users, consumers, clients, participants, prosumers, citizens, or activists, people ultimately define the success of all technological and entrepreneurial projects. They adopt or refute, promote or demote, embrace, reject, or re-purpose. Their approaches are unique, influenced by cultural and generational diversity. A decade after the rebirth of user-centered design and innovation, it is time to explore the myths and uncover the reality behind the "connected people".
The conference covered Generations and technologies, the Redefinition of Privacy, Online Communities, Politics, and Media. Speakers included Alice Taylor, Aubrey de Grey, Jamais Cascio, and Rahaf Harfoush.
Lift France 2010 happened in Marseille, July 5-7, 2010. The conference attracted 560 participants to explore the theme "dot-Real - Webify the real world!" : how the technologies and concepts of the web are changing the real world today and in the future.
For the last 20 years, networked technologies have redistributed the power of imagining, evaluating, and acting. With Asia’s shift from being the world’s factory to a major source of innovation and in a world where today’s consumers have also become producers, new boundaries arise and with them a new society. The Web changes the world - But to what extent? With what limitations? How can it reach its full potential?
Smaller events also happened all around the world. Part of the "Lift@home" program these community organized gathering happened in places like Barcelona, London, Toronto or Brussels.
