Finland Convention Bureau presented its 2009 Pro Congress award to the Alvar Aalto Academy and Alvar Aalto Museum, which organise the Alvar Aalto Symposium. The award is intended to promote the importance of attracting international congresses to Finland.
The Alvar Aalto Symposium will celebrate its 30th anniversary on August 7-9 this year. The symposium has been held in Jyväskylä every three years since 1979, and each event has brought together 400-500 architects, design professionals and students from all over the world.
