Quotes from the bloggers

Lift Asia '08 has gotten off to a great start. the first day was an amazing diversity of different speakers, ideas, and conversations. Jeju is beautiful, and the conference is a definite first in South Korea, in terms of its emphasis on spurring open, collaborative, and values-driven discussions about the relationship between technology and society. -- Hanna Cho

Anyone who's been part of LIFT will instantly fall in love with it. In an unexplainable way, the conference carries European flair. (Perhaps the invariable presence of the arts?) The venue, ICC, was totally over the top and the Jeju Island is more beautiful than some of the best spots in Asia you may know. The food was lavish, and the networking opportunity was simply great. I was genuinely impressed by the event. -- Chang Kim

LIFT Asia [...] was a fantastic event that did for me what all good conferences should do: connect people with their tribe, provide interesting and thought-provoking content, and leave attendees with a sense of hope and inspiration that we can carry with us out into the world. -- Rachel Hinman
