Xin: Icograda World Design Congress 2009 is quickly approaching. The remaining 5 days before the Congress are sure to fly by. This is the last opportunity for delegates from around the world to register for and attend the International Conference and the Education Conference, taking place from 24-30 October 2009.
The 1st Beijing Design Week will be running as part of the Icograda World Design Congress. Beijing Design Week will include 13 exciting events and 25 engaging exhibitions from around the world. This year’s Congress promises to be a unique opportunity for delegates to experience China and learn more about how China sees design as critical to transitioning from beyond a manufacturing economy.
On behalf of Icograda’s members in 67 countries/regions around the globe, we encourage everyone to take advantage of this last opportunity and register for the Icograda World Design Congress 2009. We look forward to joining together with our colleagues at CAFA, who have been recognised by BusinessWeek as one of the leading design schools, internationally. Their dedication to advancing design thinking as a core skill personifies Icograda’s commitment to leading creatively.
