SHiFT

Social and Human Ideas for Technology (September 28-29, 2006 - Lisbon, Portugal EU)
The main goal of SHIFT is to create an informal space for participating in conversations about technology and the ways it could be used for positive ends. It’s about celebrating technology with people who share common ideas about the future. SHIFT will be based on getting together and having spaces for people to meet up informally. SHIFT will be co-organized by its participants. Since one of the main ideas behind SHIFT is the role of technology in social issues, the organizers of the conference have invited leaders from different areas who have helped create social projects that rely on technology; projects with a strong sense of social justice, projects that helped cross frontiers and that have had a positive impact on the lives of people who use them.
