EFQM Forum 2010

Date: 4-6 October 2010
Location : Bilbao, Spain

Bilbao is the heart of a metropolis with a population of more than a million people. It is the driving force of social and economic development and it is the main factor in the modernisation of the Gulf of Biscay.

Ambitious architectural, and general infrastructure projects have fuelled the urban and financial regeneration of the city. The Guggenheim Museum; the Euskalduna Concert Hall and Convention Centre; the underground, built by Norman Foster; the airport, built by Calatrava; the new tram and the projects by architects such as Arata Isozaki and Cesar Pelli are all examples of the overwhelming vitality that permeates Bilbao.

Situated in the Territory of Bizkaia, the city is surrounded by fertile landscapes, with forests, mountains, beaches, and steep coasts, that make Bilbao an excellent destination for any traveller.

Attending the EFQM Forum in Bilbao will help you achieve this year's New Year's resolution of Work-Life Balance!

In addition to providing you with Innovation-based intellectual stimulation and practical ideas to apply in the work-place, our choice of Bilbao for the Forum gives you permission to enjoy internationally acclaimed artists and their temporary exhibitions at the Guggenheim.  Just announced...

Anish Kapoor
"The Guggenheim Museum Bilbao presents a monographic exhibition on Anish Kapoor, one of the most influential sculptors on the contemporary international scene.  The show was tremendously successful at the Royal Academy of Arts in London and has been organised in close collaboration with the artist".

Why not include a trip to the Guggenheim, prior to the start of the Forum?  Opening hours on Saturdays and Sundays are from 10.00 to 20.00.  (The museum also opens Tuesdays thru Fridays).

More information will be available on the EFQM Forum website.
