[Leica] Nathan's PAD 22/6/2017: East Berlin, then and now, plus hard-working colleagues

[Nathan Wajsman]

The reason I was in Berlin earlier this week (I am now spending the weekend in Poland, visiting my sister) was that our office organised a major conference on IP enforcement with the German government and the European Commission. The venue was a place called Café Moskau, a place which during the bad old days was a favourite among high-ranking Communist functionaries, black marketeers, spies and other similar members of the elite in East Germany. Today it is a conference and events centre, but the architecture has been retained and the meeting rooms are all named after capitals of the former Soviet republics. Four images:

In the adjacent U-Bahn (metro) station there are photographs of the area as it looked back then:

And this how it looks now:

My colleagues Stephanie and Claire worked incredibly hard during the days before and during the event:

They are delightful ladies and top professionals.

And our video guy Pierre worked hard too, but as always he had a smile for me:
