The Architecture & Design Conference 2.0 to rock Shanghai in 2010

The groundbreaking conference that brought the world’s leading architects, designers and developers together is back with a bang for 2010.

The concept behind the event is “Building Cities for a Better Life”, complementing the theme of the Shanghai Expo which will open in May this year. Opening the high profile conference will be globally renowned tall building expert Paul Katz, president of Kohn Pedersen Fox – the firm behind Hong Kong and Shanghai’s tallest buildings. Joining him on the programme is a veritable who's who of the architecture industry in Asia, with speakers from global firms such as Gensler, RMJM, HOK, TFP Farrells and Benoy,  as well as top Chinese designers such as Li Yao, Chief Designer for the East China Architectural Design & Research Institute Co. Also represented are top developers operating in China such as Henderson Land and Shui On.

Gathering to discuss the over US$30 billion worth of urban infrastructure and development projects taking place in and around Hong Kong record numbers of delegates, sponsors and speakers are now attending the Urban Infrastructure Conference 2010. A panel of the top government, MTR and industry leaders will deliver high level presentations and expert analysis on technical aspects, partnering options and contractual and legal issues to hundreds of delegates. As the only forum where industry leaders can obtain the latest information on these major projects from a planning, design and construction perspective, the event provided a unique opportunity for anyone involved in the lifecycle of large scale infrastructure and urban development.

The conference gives the opportunity to learn about the latest developments and technologies, and also to network with government representatives, major infrastructure corporations, developers, urban planners, architects, consultants and contractors involved in these exciting projects. Due to controversy surrounding these projects and the unexpected number of delegates the event is closed to press making the event truly exclusive for sponsors and attendees.
