LIFTon!
One flight cancellation, four flights, a string of espressos, 3 countries, 2 languages, a workshop, drinks, dinner and a stack of pain chocolates later, LIFT07 is off and running. Cheers to Nicolas, Laurent and the LIFT team for organizing a great day yesterday, and thanks to the 40-odd people who made it to my workshop. The questions, feedback, ideas and future profiles created were what I expected - provocative and diverse.
Thanks also to Mauro and Fabien for connecting with me in the first few minutes after my arrival, Bruno for pointing us to a wonderful dinner, and Michele, Wendy and Sandra for the invite to join along.
