Lift 10 Open Stage: call for entries

Today we have opened the lines for this year’s Open Stage!

Open Stage banner

The Lift 10 Open Stage will feature seven of you who will take us on a short tour d'horizon of what their days look and feel like. You might walk us through your typical work week, bring your favourite tool and showcase your craftsmanship or tell us about that one secret ingredient in your life. All this can be work-related, but does not have to be: We are interested in what you are genuinely passionate about.

Please have a look at the full brief and send us your proposal using the Open Stage forms. Everyone who attends Lift 10 can hand in a proposal for a chance to hit the big stage in May and we are looking forward to receiving your ideas.

Submission deadline is April 5th – but the earlier we hear from you, the better your chances!

If you have got any questions or comments, please talk to us at openstage@liftconference.com.
Thanks for reading!
