Berlin Days in Copenhagen from August 28 to 30

After visiting New York City in April, the next stop in the international phase of the be Berlin capital city advertising campaign will be the “Berlin Days” in Copenhagen from August 28 to 30, 2009.

Events will focus on the creative industries, film, fashion, art, design, business and urban living. The 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, along with the creative space that emerged after the uniting of the two city halves starting in 1989, will form the overarching theme of the events. Fittingly, the core message of the campaign will be the following: "be open, be free, be berlin."
