The Initiative "Germany, Land of Ideas" organizes 365 events all over the country in 2006 to "show the world how Germans have been making life more comfortable, secure and enjoyable for centuries." The Fachhochschule Potsdam - Studiengang Interface Design - IDL Interaction Design Lab, Potsdam was the "landmark of the day" at the 4th of October in recognition of its "unique degree program for young designers to learn how they can simplify and enhance our daily interaction with computers." Christine Wiegand and Gerd Waloszek from the SAP Design Guild Team were invited to be keynote speakers of this event.
