Take a global community (Lift), mix it with an old idea (Tupperware meetings), and you get Lift@home, our way to encourage and facilitate gatherings of Lifters around the world. Run your event, receive support from us in exchange for animating and developing our community.

Concept overview
• Organize your own Lift somewhere that matters to you
• Choose the program, the format, the date, the number of attendees, etc
• Post your event on liftconference.com, the community will notice and register
• Have a great time, be inspired and meet amazing people!
Mutual benefits
Long-term relationships are based on mutual benefits.
Here is what you do for our community, and what we do for you.
What you get from Lift
- Exposure
We will make sure people know you are hosting an event, and you will have a full house. Your event will be posted on a website receiving 180'000+ visits per month.
- Tools
We will provide you with all the tools you need: a website to post the program and manage registrations, a place to have your pictures and videos noticed, templates for your slides, etc.
- Process
We have been running events for a few years now. We will share our experience to make sure you and your audience have a great time!
What you do for Lift
- Animation
You make our community more active. We might even attend your event if it is not too far from us and if you have a guest room :)
- Inspiration
We are always looking for new ideas and speakers. We look forward to read the reports and see the videos of your events, maybe we could find great new speakers or ideas for Lift...?
- Extend
You help us reach people who do not know or who can not come to Lift. We hope they will catch the virus and attend our next conference!
The rules
Here are the rules for Lift@home:
- To organize an event you must have attended a Lift conference at least once. We want to make sure you know our values and processes before you gather the community.
- No promotion/pitching is allowed in the event's program.
- Participants must be respectful of the work that the organizer has put into running the event, and provide constructive feedback to make future events even better.
- All events should be not for profit (you can of course charge an entry fee to cover your expenses)
- Lift@home events should be shorter than one day. Beyond that, events are considered co-productions (see Lift@Austria for example) and we ask you to contact us.
- After the event the Lift@home organizer posts a short recap of the event on the Lift blog to share his experience with the Lift community.
Interested?
Here is what you need to submit your event:
- A brief description
- A location and date
- Speaker(s) and a theme
- Or you can also gather Lifters with no predefined program (and see what happens)
