Sustaining Design Excellence: Global Innovation and Revolutionary

In autumn 2009, as part of the Month of Design 09, Zavod Big will host its annual design conference, this year entitled "Sustaining Design Excellence."

The conference, held over two days in central Ljubljana, addresses questions that explore the relationship between quality design, creativity, innovation, technology, management, strategy, planning, research, responsibility and sustainability.

Eight internationally active and engaged practitioners from all over the world - from designers and architects to managers, consultants, researchers, planners and strategists - will be invited to Ljubljana to present their work and their vision within the framework of "Sustaining Design Excellence."

The conference objective aims to bring together a diverse group of professionals from all areas of design management, planning, execution, production, and distribution; to exchange ideas and information on thinking, application and development of the entire design process.
