I went to Reboot in Copenhagen …
You should come to SHiFT in Lisbon!
And I have a 20% discount code to make it easier for you to decide.
So what was Reboot?
Reboot was a like a “broaden your horizon” kind of experience.
It had amazing speakers, amazing talks and I met a lot of interesting people.
I had lots of feedback on my projects, gave lots of feedback on other projects and most of all I fell in love by the city, its people and for the kind of conference Reboot was and is.
The whole spirit of the conference and its attendees is nothing like I’ve ever had experienced before.
And it’s always hard to return from a place were like minded people mingle, co-exist, discuss and help each other without asking for nothing in return. I’m not only talking about the average John Doe like me but also all the speakers and the organizers were at the reach of a “hi”.
All in all, everybody was in the spirit and when that happens in a conference, it can only be a success.
All of that made such a huge and positive impact in my personal and professional life that I’m still digesting it.
And what is SHiFT?
It’s just around the corner, as it will be on the 15th, 16th and 17th of October and I’ll present it like a “small” Reboot in Portugal with a lot of juicy stuff.
First of all, I am lucky enough to be part of the organization and as such I know that we’re doing the possible and the impossible to make it a memorable event.
Then, and for the first time ever in SHiFT’s history, we’re going to have a full day of FREE workshops.
So instead of having to pay for each workshop individually and also pay for the conference, you’ll be able to come to the conference and choose and see all the workshops for free.
We have some pretty amazing speakers lined up: Andy Budd, Brian Suda, Tara Hunt, Manuel Lima, Joshua Kaufman, Julian Bleecker, Tijmen Schep, Leonel Moura, Felix Petersen, Stowe Boyd, and the list goes on.
And if you don’t know any of this names then I must tell you that you really need to come to SHiFT (or choose to go see them somewhere abroad like I did in Copenhagen). These guys are top notch in their areas and it was really a privilege to hear some of them in Reboot.
So I’m really excited that we are able to have them here in our backyard talking about such diverse and amazing stuff as “Artificial Creativity“, “Designing the User Experience Curve“, “VisualComplexity: A visual exploration on mapping complex networks“, “Transient Semantics and Microformats” and so much more.
The 20% discount
The “yorray!” factor: We’re a non profit organization but we pretty much have secured enough sponsorships to support the whole conference.
So as a way to help all of you guys that haven’t decided yet to come to the conference, we’re giving away 20% discounts. To use the discount simply use this code when registering: shift08t60dd6539
What more can I tell you?
Since I’ve been to Reboot 10, my only regret was that I didn’t went to all of the other 9 before.
Don’t let this happen to you and don’t miss this great opportunity to see and network with some amazing, like minded, interesting people. It’s gonna be a heck of an experience and you can be a part of it.
