Join us at Ecobuild 2012
Ecobuild your future at the biggest event in the world for sustainable design, construction and the built environment
Make a note in your calendar – Ecobuild, the world’s biggest event for sustainable design, construction and the built environment is back at London’s ExCeL on Tuesday 20 – Thursday 22 March.
And it’s bigger than ever. Over 1,500 suppliers will be exhibiting, creating the biggest showcase of sustainable construction products you’ll see anywhere, from big names such as Saint-Gobain, BASF Construction Chemicals, Kingspan, Vaillant, and Worcester Bosch, to up and comers in Ecobuild’s Green shoots entrepreneurs’ zone. Open-City will be at stand S770 exhibiting the results of our successful initiatives, including Green Sky Thinking, that showcase best practice in how to 'design in' sustainability into our cities.
There’s also a three-day conference, sponsored by the UK Green Building Council (one of Open-City's Green Sky Thinking partners), that tackles macro themes such as Beyond construction: achieving a sustainable future, Making sustainable construction happen and Design, architecture & sustainability with renowned commentators including Sir John Beddington, Monty Don, Janet Street Porter, Greg Dyke, Tony Juniper and Angela Brady.
A topical addition to the programme for 2012 is an ‘Olympics special’ hosted jointly by the Construction Products Association and BRE in which Construction Minister, Mark Prisk, and Peter Bonfield, Adviser to the Olympic Delivery Authority on materials procurement, consider how, having delivered ‘the greenest games ever’, the learning from the development of the Olympic Park can be put to use in other developments.
More applied is Ecobuild’s seminar programme which delivers practical advice from experienced practitioners through over 130 sessions including Sustainability & the city, Refurbishing Britain, Future energy and Sustainable by design.
It’s all free to attend. Get your free ticket now at www.ecobuild.co.uk
