Just back from [tag-tec]Lift07[/tag-tec], which - I have to admit - I didn’t like very much. Piles on my virtual and real desktop. Next week I’m presenting at a business event. Besides the typical Web 2.0 stuff I’ll show some real applications/use cases (from our portfolio) that create benefits for their users. Once I’m done with the slides you’ll get them here.

I think I’ll show the #1 Web 2.0 video too.

Off to Geneva to attend Lift07.

[tag-ice]Geneva[/tag-ice] always reminds me of “Smoke on the Water“. As good as it ever was.

I’m very happy to attend a high-level workshop on innovation and competitive advantage with Eric van Hippel and Pankaj Ghemawat.

I’m very curious not only to meet these guys but also to relate my work on [tag-tec enterprise software]enterprise (social) software[/tag-tec] to stratgies of [tag-ice]innovation[/tag-ice] and competitivness.

It’s part of the ambitious business conference com.sult 07 in Vienna.

Tomorrow I’m heading to Barecelona/Vic to be part of the setmana digital a vic. I’m very honored to be there next to people like Pierre Lévy, who I once listened to at AOIR 2003 in Toronto - I have to admit I couldn’t quite follow his theories so here is another chance ;-).
There are many other interesting topics and speakers of course unfortunately - it seems - the majority of them will be in Spanish, a language I don’t understand.
Anyway, I’m on a panel with José Luis Orihuela, Giuseppe Granieri, and Hugo Pardo - who is one of the organizers of this Digital Week.
