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. Visit
