It took over 100 years to Intersteno for deciding to have its second Congress outside Europe, since the first was in Chicago in 1893 and was attended by nearly 500 participants mainly from United States.

This Congress in China was possible thanks to the big efforts mainly done by Mr Tank Keliang with Mr Liao Qing and the support of Ms Wei Xia, together with a huge Adviser Committee.

The venue of the Congress, differently from all ones visited in June 2008 by an Intersteno delegation including Ms Sante, Mr Devriendt and Mr Trivulzio, was the Olympics Sports Center for the opening and closing ceremony as well as the computers’ competitions. All other events and accomodations of many groups were done at the nearby Olympics Sports Center Hotel.

Over 800 persons crowded the huge hall of the Olympic Stadium Centre for the opening ceremony on August 15th, among whom there were many Chinese teachers and students.

Tang YaweiThe official start of the Congress was done my the Father of the Chinese shorthand, Mr Tang Yawei, 93 years old, who invented his system in 1938 and conceived the electronic version which is proficiently used in China, thanks also to the education plans put into effect in the last 10 years.

The ceremony was decorated by many performances, which were much appreciated by the international attendans.

At the end a welcome drink consented socialisation with old an new friends, with tons of photos with everybody.

Youth day

Many young people participated in this event which was not only devoted to the visit of important monuments of Beijing but also to appreciation of the interesting moments of the Chinese life under the guidance of their friends. Taking part in the preparation of traditional Chinese cooking was a very exciting moment for them. Comments on this event were all positive, notwithstanding the tireness at the end of the long visit.
