1 SPONSORSHIP AND EXHIBITOR PROSPECTUS

2 Crafting the Future of Materials In 2015, the first-ever Living Product Expo inspired the product industry s leading minds to incite a manufacturing revolution. This year we are taking the Living Product Expo (LP16) to then next level. LP16 is a place for disruptive ideas and provocative technology that are reshaping the materials landscape. The event is an accelerator for product innovation, and the leading place for designers, manufacturers and CSR professionals to make connections and learn about the latest trends in sustainable products and manufacturing.

3 The Living Product Expo is the place to be to learn about today s cutting-edge products and disruptive innovations. COMMENTS FROM OUR 2015 ATTENDEES: Real rigorous science, presented by the actual authors, with deep dives into the labeling systems and underlying evidence. Nothing else I ve been to was even remotely as helpful on the topics of indoor environmental pollution and sustainable sourcing. This needs to be recommended far and wide so the transformation of the materials industry can happen as rapidly as possible. This critical Paradigm Shift is our best hope for slowing the present mass extinction. I m an architect/specifier and LP15 was so much more informational, inspiring, and fun than our other trade shows. The participants made all the difference. More diverse, more interesting, more engaged. LIVINGPRODUCTEXPO.ORG
