3. Lift
Lift is a conference built around a
community of pioneers who come
together in Europe and Asia to explore
the social, economic and environmental
consequences of new technologies.
An open and accessible event, Lift
answers a very fundamental question:
What can the future do for you?
Innovation can be a threat if we ignore
it, and an opportunity if we anticipate
it. Over three days, Lift makes it
possible for all participants to keep up-
to-date with the most significant
changes anticipated in the next three
years.

corporate brand side marketers’ use of digital demand generation tactics such as online
advertising, webcasts, and Google ad words is slightly higher than their exhibition management

22. Some thoughts
Conclusion
‣ Engagement marketing is becoming an important component of live
marketing.....
‣ Real time interactions change the dynamic of content distribution in
events....
‣ Experts are on the stage, ....in the audience, ....and everywhere....
‣ Nurturing the community before, during, and after the event with
quality content will become more and more critical....
‣ Events are not anymore limited in time and space, they are modified
and enlarged by communities...
‣ What event formats and organization will serve these needs ?
