The EIDD Design for All Europe 2012 Conference will be a major event within the official program of World Design Capital Helsinki 2012.

Accessibility is a matter of design. The international expert conference provides an opportunity for the distribution and dissemination of examples related to the subject, as well as high-level information. The aim of the conference is to show how the Design for All approach and methodology can offer concrete solutions to global challenges, such as ageing populations and sustainable development.

The conference creates a comprehensive Design for All experience, as well as provides latest information, inspiration and enthusiasm in the fields of accessibility and urban attractivity. The event itself forms a pilot example of a conference executed with easy access for all.

The Cities for All Helsinki conference is organised in conjunction with the General Assembly meeting of EIDD Design for All Europe. The conference will also be accompanied by an exhibition. The exhibition will be designed with a view to an international tour.

The conference is intended for designers and architects, construction industry professionals, municipal and private sector building contractors, city and company executives, as well as developers and students.
