When I read that Stephanie Booth was speaking at Shift, I thought I had to find out what the Shift was all about.
Realizing that it took place in Lisbon (Portugal), I wish I made it there.
This event or conference keeps it human. You are not lost in the crowd.
The theme this year is "that technology is breaking up with it’s digital boundaries and it’s
becoming a vital part of a lot of the things we do and interact with in
our daily lives and will try to cover the role and impact of technology in such different fields as: Education, History,
Genetics, Economics, Acessibility, Transportation, Mobile Technologies,
User Experience, Energy and Architecture, Art and Open Technologies."
Pedro Custódio, one of the organizers informed me that the event takes place at the International Fair Meeting Centre "Parque das Nações", in the most recently renovated area of town, laid down by the River Tagus shoreline. There is a Shopping Center nearby and loads of nice
bars and restaurants it’s an entire new district by the river, which means plenty of
restaurants/bars/hotels and shopping, plus it’s very well located next
to one of the biggest stations (train, subway, metro and buses) in
Lisbon. Amazingly not nearly expensive as other places in the city, Pedro says.
Maybe I will make it there next year!
