August 24, 2009
 Construction is speeding up on the seafront site for the Dalian International Conference Center, as the ambitious target is to host the annual "Summer Davos" Summit in September 2010. The 120,000 square meter project comprises a state of the art conference center for up to 7,000 visitors as well as an opera house for 1,600 guests. Coop Himmelb(l)au had been selected as winner of the invited competition in August 2008 out of entries by Zaha Hadid Architects or GMP von Gerkan, Marg und Partner amongst others. The groundbreaking ceremony took place in November, in attendance of Mayor Xia Deren, followed by the structural works for the basement as well as the 30,000 ton steel construction by just April 2009. Steel construction is scheduled to be finished by the end of September this year.
The International Conference Center is located in Dalian, an important seaport, industrial, trade and tourism center, located in the southernmost part of the Liaodong Peninsula in the Chinese Liaoning Province.
