I was really looking forward to attend the 3rd LIFT Conference in Geneva but I had to cancel my trip due to overload of work and preparals for a.o. the MobileMonday Peer Awards Barcelona and Mobile Jam Session - Oui, je râle!

LIFT has a great format and has build a great reputation since it launched the conference in 2006. Check this year’s exceptional program, the impressive and tenacious list of topics handled though various workshops - check for example Open and The Future of Wireless and Ubiquitous computing: visions, failures and new interaction rituals… The LIFT THINK blog has been a must read for me for the past year.

I will also miss to catch up with Christian Lindholm, Charlie Schick , Tom Hume, Nicolas Nova and Fabrien Girardin, hope some of them will make it to Mobile World Congress.

Luckily, there’s my Belgian pal Robin Wauters - a social media fanatic - writing for various professional publications. He will attend the conference and write a wrap-up of the conference for mTrends readers. Robin is also the organizer of Plugg, a new Web / Mobile 2.0 conference planned in Brussels on March 19. Send him a tweet if you have something you’d love him to write about or he definately shouldn’t miss.
