contractworld 2009

With its high-powered program of lectures and conferences, the contractworld.congress has become a vital source of information for architects, interior designers, planners and design professionals. And a must for everyone who wants to learn about current design trends in offi ces, hotels and shops, presented by high-calibre experts working in this field. In 2008 more than 2,500 visitors attended the various lectures and conferences. This year the congress organizers also pulled off a notable coup by signing up Professor Daniel Libeskind from New York to speak at the event. Libeskind shot to international fame with his bold and controversial Jewish Museum in Berlin, and has subsequently been at the forefront of contemporary architectural discussion as the winner of the competition to redevelop Ground Zero in New York. www.contractworld.com
