Think Experience
Over 100 exhibitors will give you an exceptional and current snapshot of sustainability in the built environment. The exhibition has 6 zones, each with specialised feature areas. At the heart of these zones are debating chambers offering free seminars to visitors.

Who Should Attend Think 08?
Sustainability is the fastest growing sector of the property and construction industries. Professionals from across the built environment will benefit from attendance at Think 08 where they can network and learn from thought leaders.

Think Conference
Taking place over two days, the Think conference will have three streams looking at sustainability in practice: 

Property: seeking value in sustainability
Regeneration: planning sustainable places and communities
Construction: zero carbon: debating it, doing it

Day passes are 399 and 299 Pounds for public sector, not-for-profit and validated post-graduates (community groups and universities also have the opportunity to win a one day pass with our bursary scheme).

Free Seminars
A number of free seminar sessions are also available at Think with subjects centred around the six Think zones. These, along with the keynotes, will be available to all exhibition visitors.
