2009 marks the 200th anniversary of the birth of Fryderyk Chopin - one of the greatest music composers ever. To celebrate such an exceptional occasion, the Fryderyk Chopin National Institute organized the Third International Congress "Chopin 1810-2010 Ideas - Interpretations - Influence", which took place in Warsaw on 25.02-01.03.2010. Not only was this event so exceptional due to the enormous popularity and admiration Chopin had enjoyed worldwide, but also due to the influence that his music has had on the works of other composers as well as on other forms of artistic endeavor and human activity.

Five days of the congress were filled with meetings, lectures, and - which is undoubtedly the most important element - music of Fryderyk Chopin, performed by the most prominent and world-famous pianists from all over the world. Visitors could walk the very same paths as Chopin himself did - since the congress' meetings took place at the premises of the University of Warsaw, where the great composer used to live and work in 1817 - 1827.

During those special days, both for Polish culture and Poles themselves, LIDEX congresses & events had a great honor and pleasure to provide full technical support to this event, including the system for simultaneous interpretation and public address system ? we had our small share in making Chopin be heard, listened to, and understood.
