Fringe Benefits at Ecobuild
Ecobuild, the world’s biggest event for sustainable design, construction and the built environment, is once again opening its doors to those looking for eco ideas and products. With nearly 1,000 exhibitors, more than 41,000 attendees and over 100 seminars, last year’s Ecobuild was a roaring success and has become one of the biggest events of its kind, even having to change venues this year to allow for its growing popularity. This year’s Ecobuild is being held at London’s ExCel and will take place Tuesday 01 March – Thursday 03 March.
Ecobuild Fringe is just one of the highlights at this year’s show. Fringe brings together a variety of events from exhibitors, supporters and partners, all of which take place during Ecobuild 2011. A few things to keep an eye out for are –
