Exchange. 18,000 design lovers, 60 events in 44 locations: That’s the outcome of Vienna Design Week (VDW) 2008. The internationally acclaimed platform of intensive exchange between creatives, consumers and business people gave experts an opportunity to test their own ideas with speed dating, for example. Next year VDW will again boast a multi-faceted programme and a new edition of the Design 09 conference at the University of Applied Art.  www.viennadesignweek.at
