Following a great Liftconference, today the team, board and speakers explored Geneva. It not only proved to be a good way to get to know the city better, but also sharing more insights on what we gathered during the last couple of days.

Meeting the person most often called 'the father of the Internet' was a great experience. Vint Cerf had lots to share and his insights were mindbogling. A truly great final for Lift09.

"Where did the future go?" is the central theme of Liftconference 09 in Geneva. Lift is a series of events built around a community of doers and thinkers who get together in Europe and Asia to explore the social consequences of new technologies. Each conference is a chance to turn changes into opportunities by anticipating the major shifts ahead, and meeting the people who drive them. The full set of pictures will be appearing here.

A very interesting and inspirational workshop today with Magnum photographer Carl de Keyzer. These workshops give me input for a special event we are organizing on April 21.

Today I opened the new group for our V-Academy. Yet another 10 young students that we will give the opportunity to make their start and mark in cross media for example with KinkTV The full set of pictures is here

A great brainstorm weekend with artists, musicians, creatives, people from higher education and many more in Belgium. The event was organised by Guido Crolla from HAN, a true Dutch digital pioneer. the full picture set can be found here.

The IPAN meeting tonight was all about journalists and how they perceive the current developments in the TIME sector on the one hand and to their own business and profession on the other hand. I had the pleasure of moderating the panel of very experienced and leading tech and media journalists and we were happy that so many had gone through the bad weather to join us. Like some of the new Dutch digital pioneers who have made it to the book tonight.

A very interesting Mobile Monday. With lots of good speakers of which Nicolas Nova of Liftconference (as advisory board member and avid fan I will be attending of course) and Megaphone were the most inspiring. The full set of pictures can be found here.
