Greengaged brings together a fantastic mix of contributors – from chemists to magicians, engineers to entrepreneurs – to challenge the design industry on sustainability. greengaged events will examine ecological imperatives, political and social drivers, and sustainable design strategies across disciplines from product design to graphics and service design to fashion.
Packed with hot topic debates, practical workshops, seminars, exhibitions, screenings and networking events, greengaged brings together all sectors of the design industry to focus on sustainability issues, exchange ideas and carve out new roles for design.
