CEU Credit Now Available for SF Mart Green
Conference
All 10 Live Green, Live Well Seminars Approved
Early-Bird Rates Good thru August 31
SAN FRANCISCO, California, August 31, 2007 /San Francisco
Mart/ -- The San Francisco Mart and the American Society of
Interior Designers (ASID) are pleased to announce that all ten
seminars for Live Green, Live Well, including the keynote
luncheon with Interface Founder & Chairman Ray Anderson, have
been approved by the Interior Design Continuing Education
Council (IDCEC) for credit. Designers can earn up to nine
hours of credit for just one $12 NCIDQ service fee during the
two-day sustainable home furnishings and design show September
19 & 20.
With the green movement reaching a tipping point, designers
and retailers must understand sustainable terms,
certifications and processes so that they can educate their
clients and customers. At the show, attendees will learn from
experts in the field and benefit from the singular
concentration on eco-friendly design. The CEU credit is
automatically approved for ASID, IDC, IDEC and IIDA members.
Many state regulatory boards also accept IDCEC-approved
courses to satisfy CEU requirements.
“The conference will help designers bring “green within reach”
to clients who think a green lifestyle is too restricting, too
demanding or too expensive,” says Roseann Carini, the SF
Mart’s General Manager. “At Live Green, Live Well, designers
will access hundreds of products that will foster their
progression into a more eco-conscious way of conducting
business and living life. The knowledge gained from our 10
outstanding CEU seminars will enable them to make homes
healthier for their clients, themselves and their family.”
The seminars are being co-sponsored by ASID. “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 be open from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. on
Wednesday, September 19 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;
early-bird conference rates are good through August 31.
Advance reservations and prepayment are required. Visit

CEU credit, attendees should bring a $12 check payable to
