(Hong Kong) Asia’s leading annual design event is back from the 3rd to 8th December, 2012, for more exhibitions, forums and programmes to explore the growing business of design, innovation and branding.
Organised by the Hong Kong Design Centre (HKDC) since 2002, the week long conference brings the best of the global design community to Hong Kong, offering a chance for design experts and executives to network and share innovations and ideas. The premier gathering also encourages industry and business to unleash the power of design by focusing on their vital relationship and complex interplay.
With China already the world's largest exporter of design goods and emerging to the forefront of the global creative industry, the Hong Kong conference is also an excellent opportunity to boast the global value chain and grow aggregate demand for design in the world economy.
This year’s BODW includes a showcase of Danish design with numerous experts and executives from the Scandinavian country set to appear and speak. Among the top Danish design experts scheduled to attend are graphics legend Bo Linnemann (founder of Kontrapunkt), interdisciplinary architect Rosan Bosch, Mads Ryder (CEO of Royal Copenhagen) and Eva Kruse (Danish Fashion Institute).
In addition to a three day forum, special events around the week include the popular Detour public exhibits and displays, the Shenzhen Industrial Design Forum, the Technology For Design seminar, and, this year, the Hong Kong Design Centre (HKDC) 10th anniversary Gala dinner and awards ceremony. Topics covered over the conference include technology, heritage & culture, branding, education and product & fashion.
