I'm currently in the process of organising a panel discussion for the upcoming Green Sky Thinking event. It is a key opportunity for people interested in sustainability to get together, and share best practice and the latest thinking. Here are some details about the event...
What is it?
Green Sky Thinking is an independent platform created by Open-City to promote and support sustainable product solutions and innovation. It’s not a conference or seminar – but site-based by taking people out of the seminar room to look at best practice through live examples. Last year there were over 50 activities from talks, tours and walks to roundtable discussions and debates held over a week’s period.
Green Sky Thinking is a business-focused event for built environment and property professionals. It answers the need in this challenging economic climate for a new way for built environment practitioners to showcase their ideas and thinking, as well as their practice.
Being informal as well as informative, it offers more direct engagement with new networks, contacts and potential clients than would otherwise be possible through the traditional routes of advertising, conferences and trade shows. It's also spread over one week to maximise these opportunities for networking, marketing and knowledge-sharing.
Who will be coming to Green Sky Thinking?
Green Sky Thinking is a business-focused event. The aim is to open up discussions around sustainability issues in a more accessible and immediate way to industry professionals and clients – including property sector, consultants, developers, local authorities, housing associations, and many others with a professional interest in hearing more about sustainable solutions across the built environment.
This includes decision makers (local authority councillors, planners, policy makers), to industry professionals (architects, designers, engineers, construction professionals) to end-users (clients, developers, asset managers, housing associations, neighbourhood groups).
