OK: so I’ve only just written about the ICEL conference in London next month, when the LIA comes a-knockin’ again!
.
This is what the combined forces of the SLL and LIA is promising for the autumn, and coming to a venue (probably) somewhere near you!
No recycled sustainability statements.
No endless metrics.
No greenwashing.
Instead, we’ll be asking the questions that really matter:
.
- Does sustainability have to cost more?
- How do you sell sustainability when your customer doesn’t care?
- What does project success actually look like years after completion?
- How can designers influence clients and protect sustainable specifications?
- And what does sustainability beyond compliance actually mean?
At each event, you’ll hear from:
- Kristina Allison – Selling sustainability when the customer doesn’t care: How to talk about sustainability for maximum effect
- Kael Gillam – Traitors: The Lighting Sustainability Edition
- Paul Beale – Does sustainability have to cost more?
- Gary Thornton – What does project success actually look like?
- Ali Kay – Sustainability beyond compliance
The aim is simple: fresh, practical and thought-provoking conversations that give you the confidence and ideas to make a difference.
