2008 has been an eventful year for Icograda and our network, with Design Weeks in Daegu and Torino, new staff in the Secretariat, new members, exciting event endorsements, and so much more. Now it is once again time for the Secretariat to take a pause and enjoy the festivities of the season.

Even as the 2008 year comes to a close, the Secretariat is already preparing for the new year. Upcoming events include the Icograda Design Week in Qatar, the Adobe Design Achievement Awards and the Icograda World Design Congress and General Assembly. All the important information and key dates for these events and more will be announced in the new year's eNews. Keep an eye out in the next few editions!

The Secretariat will be closed from 24 December 2008 - 2 January 2009 (inclusive) and will reopen on 5 January 2009.

Until then, enjoy the last weeks of 2008, and see you in 2009!
