Olá and welcome to our portrait of Lisbon SHiFT conference! SHiFT (Social and Human Ideas For Technology) really shows how Portugal is becoming a great place for International Tech Conferences.

Who are the people behind SHiFT? Viktoria interviewed some of the organizers - amongst them Henriette Weber, André Ribeirinho and Pedro Custódio.

„SHiFT is about technology but not in a traditional way“ says Pedro, „we put together people that normally aren’t interested in technology and mix them with tech geeks. SHiFT is trying to be something entirely different than the very commercial, academic and closed Portuguese conferences. We take a little bit of every field and put it together with a focus on the role of technology in social issues. We are trying to achieve something that is very uncommon in Portugal: Rethink the past and plan for the future and last but not least provoke engagement! “

SHiFT09 is happening on October 16 and 17 in the beautiful city of Lisbon: Two days packed with great speakers, interesting discussions with new and known people from all over Europe and inspiration by the stories people share on and off stage. Check out SHiFT’s website to learn more about the speaker lineup and the highlights of this year’s edition. For any questions you can write to info@shift.pt

„Spread the word, spread ideas, spread joy, spread technology“ - following the motto of SHiFT...See you all in Lisbon!

Do you ever struggle for inspiration...the spark you need to be innovative? Here are five bold authors and visionaries and their thought-provoking books: Jeff Jarvis, Don Tapscott, Rafi Haladjian, Henriette Weber and Tara Hunt.

Jeff Jarvis’ exceptional book „What would Google do?“ isn’t really about Google but about the major changes that we are going through right now both in society and in the economy. It offers valuable insights for anyone seeking to participate in the Internet culture and to maximize the opportunities that exist in the Google era.

Don Tapscott’s „Wikinomics“ is a brilliant guide to one of the most profound changes of the twenty-first century: Mass collaboration and the growth of massive online communities. It illuminates how collaboration and communication technologies are democratizing the creation of value: The more you share, the more you win.

French-Armenian businessman Rafi Haladjian is passionate about pervasive networks and smart objects: His company Violet created the first internet connected rabbit Nabaztag and intends to connect every single object surrounding us to the network thereby building the Internet of Things.

Social marketing rebel extraordinaire Henriette Weber from Toothless Tiger draws parallels between rockbands and businesses, rockstars and employees. Her e-book „Why every company should be a rock band“ has been filmed by Andrea Vascellari and can be downloaded for free here.

„Whuffie“ is Tara Hunt’s word for social capital in the Web 2.0 landscape. With „The Whuffie Factor“ the cofounder of community-marketing consulting firm Citizen Agency offers a strategic guide for anyone interested in using the power of online social networks for business success.
