Lift Asia 08
For the first large scale Asian event of Lift, we welcomed 400 participants under the magnificent sun of Jeju Island. "Beyond the browser" was the main theme, with presentations about robotics, the future of social worlds, virtual money or the networked city given by twenty speakers like Dan Dubno, Joonmo Kwon, Jaewoong Lee or Takeshi Natsuno (full program here). The event featured an exhibition of interactive art organized by art center nabi and some of the best social events and networking we have ever organized, like a swiss lunch and a memorable diner by the sea. The event was supported by the Jeju Government, Daum, WattWatt, Alpict and art center nabi.
