There, find a remote site beaming in Lausanne near you! For example, if you’re in Louisville, check with Team Expansion. Their remote site at Emerald Hills is, I believe, the exclusive Lausanne remote site for the entire Greater Louisville Area. But, you better act fast. (For example, Greater Louisville has approximately 2 million people. You don’t want to be the 2-millionth person to call now, do you!?) Each site might have its own set-up to limit the number of participants to a manageable number.
If you’re thinking about trying to go in person, and you’re just getting started, that might be a dodgy way to attend. The invitation process started years ago, literally, and I believe every seat is spoken for. (For example, I’m told the USA delegation was manually limited to 250 people out of the total of 4400 participants, on purpose, so the world’s voice could be heard from over 200 countries — rather than just a bunch of noisy USA delegates. :-) )
So fasten your seat belts and get ready for Lausanne 2010. To learn more about Lausanne, see their website at…
