We are ensuring TGS is a creative, fair-like vibe that is fun and engaging. With this platform, we want to make sustainability better understood and more achievable by everyone.
​
That is where The Conference plays a key role and we have picked topics that are more relatable to adopting new ways of space design and decor. We understand that sustainability is becoming more and more important each day and we feel that the architecture and design industry also needs to come up with new ways to achieve this. We are inviting Design Entrepreneurs, Sustainable Startup Founders, Experts, Thought leaders, Think tanks, and people actively working in the design industry to come and share insights and expertise on how we can build (literally) more sustainable spaces and businesses in architecture, home decor, and design.
​
We will host 24 interesting sessions on DAY 2 & 3 (Feb 25th & 26th)
