SUMMARY
The Living Product + Declare Summit is the materials industries leadership summit. It will bring together thought leaders from the world’s premier sustainable product manufacturers, as well as trend-setting specifiers that are shaping the future of product demand. This summit will include an update on Declare and the Living Product Challenge, as well as their relationship to other green building certification programs worldwide.
We will explore new innovative databases and material tracking tools with significant potential to disrupt the current material selection process. It will also outline new, open data trends in Life Cycle Analysis and Handprinting with the potential to dramatically lower cost and speed adoption.
Participants in the summit while not only learn how to apply the principles of Declare and the Living Product Challenge to their product and projects, they will have the opportunity to collaborate with industry leaders to shape the future of materials.
