Education Day at SF Mart Green Expo Features Design Leaders
Eight Experts to Share Passion & Knowledge
SAN FRANCISCO, California, July 25, 2007 /San Francisco Mart/ --Sustainable design innovators, educators and manufacturers will converge upon San Francisco during the San Francisco Mart’s Live Green, Live Well sustainable home furnishings and design show September 19 & 20.
With the green movement reaching a critical mass and moving into the mainstream, design professionals and home furnishings retailers will benefit greatly from the singular concentration on eco-friendly products and processes at Live Green, Live Well. The expo is the first trade fair solely dedicated to sustainable furnishings and design. Attendees will learn about viable product resources and ideas from exhibitors and educational programs.
“Education is a very important component of this show,” states Roseann Carini, the SF Mart’s general manager. “Designers and retailers must understand sustainable terms, certifications and processes so that they can educate their clients and customers. The individuals we have presenting at the show are experts in the field, and attendees should be very edified by the caliber of educational content.”
The seminars are being co-sponsored by ASID, the American Society of Interior Designers. “We believe that all responsible professionals must make a commitment to finding ways to diminish interior design's impact on the environment,” says Suzan Globus, FASID, President of ASID. “It is also a smart way of doing business.”
Live Green, Live Well will take place in SF Mart’s two main temporary exhibit areas: Green on 1 and Green on 2. The expo will be open from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. on Wednesday, September 19, earmarked as the education day co-sponsored by the ASID, and from 10 a.m.-7 p.m. on Thursday, September 20. Entrance to the expo is complimentary to all trade professionals. Fees will be charged for all seminars. Advance reservations and prepayment are required.
