Keynote Speaker - TV presenter Oliver Heath
"I'm delighted to be presenting the keynote speech at the Biophilic Design Conference, particularly at time when the natural world that we are so reliant on is under such threat. With a growing awareness of the need for deeper nature connections across all aspects of our lives and building sectors, there is so much to learn from our peers, be that evidence, practice, case studies and approaches. Join us to engage, contribute, and learn."

Many other respected speakers from NHS, Dept of Education, CEO of London Wildlife Trust, Maggie's Care Centres, British Institute of Interior Design (BIID), Living Future Europe, Stop Ecocide International, Stride Treglown, Buro Happold, plus leading architects, landscape architects and designers, planners, futurists, city councils, ecologists, wellbeing experts and more.

Mathew Freeman, President of BIID (British Institute of Interior Design) "The Biophilic Design conference is an educational opportunity to share new developments and inspire those who seek to utilise nature's influence and prioritise health and wellbeing."

Learn how we can use Biophilic Design in city and town planning, every workplace, school, hospital simply. How we retrofit Biophilic Design and aim to weave Biophilic Design into the very fabric of buildings and cities from the outset before ground is broken and cement mixed.

Each session of the conference will embrace three main threads: People, Planet and Economy.

"Our Biophilic Design Conference will bring together some amazing voices working in this field, every single one of them is making a difference to people and planet through the magic of Biophilic Design. With a mental health crisis spreading across the world, alongside the climate crisis, we have never needed Biophilic Design more than now. We are crowd-funding this conference, so thank you to everyone attending, exhibiting, sponsorship and supporting in any way you can, together we are making a difference to this planet and each other," Vanessa added.

Together we can design a better world to live in.

For people, for planet and for prosperity in every sense of the word...
