About This Event

Leaders in the field will speak throughout the day, to help facilitate forums and exercises that we hope will challenge and inspire you. By the end of the day you will generate a design agenda that will describe the responsibilities we bear, cradle to grave, for what we choose to make.

Topics will ultimately be chosen by you, but candidates include the following:

*What concepts, practices, ethics, principles, methods, and case studies can we share which demonstrate effective and practical ecologic design work?
*How must our assumptions and practices change to make responsible use of energy, water, and precious materials? How can the results of our design work encourage similarly positive behavior?
* How can our practices—and our designs—encourage meaningful human interaction and correct matters of social disparity?
* How can we amplify intelligence and divert bad decisions as we collaborate with executives, managers, and others to design and operate businesses that offer sufficient profits without doing violence to other values?
