ICC
FORM/FUTURE takes place at the iconic International Congress Center (ICC) Berlin and is part of 49h ICC, a multifaceted program celebrating Day of the Open Monument 2O25.
Once built as a futuristic „dialogue machine“ the building has been decommissioned for a decade. This September, we will transform the ICC into a temporary creative lab where the potential of design becomes tangible.
Keynotes and panels will be complemented by pop-up experiences, interactive formats, and exhibitions — all in a building that embodies future optimism like no other.
