Matchmaking Conference 2017
Following the call for ideas that generated 337 ideas by 594 authors from 56 countries all over the world, 25 candidates selected by the platform members, Future Architecture alumni and the public will appear at the Matchmaking Conference. They will meet with the 18 platform members, where they will personally present and pitch their ideas and visions to both the platform members and the general public. Based on their presentation of ideas, interests and views on architecture, the candidates will be matched with members of the platform and become a part of the Future Architecture platform program taking place all around Europe.
The first two days of the Matchmaking Conference will be open to public. Free admission. Applications to infobio@mao.si are required. Please state the day(s) you wish to attend.
