The official blog for Xin: Icograda World Design Congress (WDC) Beijing 2009 is launched. which is Devoted to behind-the-scenes information about the Congress, the blog will act as a place of commentary and exchange, and aims to serve up a delectable (design) appetite, all in anticipation of this year’s event.
This year, the biennial Icograda World Design Congress will be held in Beijing, China for the first time. From 24-30 October 2009, some 100 speakers and thousands of delegates from around the globe will gather in a cross-disciplinary Congress, offering five days of dialogue within the international design community. In the face of a worldwide economic downturn, we now have a chance to look at the energy of design, to share design experiences, and to restore our confidence in overcoming the challenges of this difficult period.
The theme of the Congress will be “Xin,” which literally translates as “message” or “letter.” Under this theme, the Icograda WDC Beijing 2009 seeks to explore contemporary issues and challenges currently facing communication design.
The list of confirmed speakers for the International Conference is available are also online.
