The International Living Future Institute’s annual Living Product Expo, set for September 13-15 in Pittsburgh, is focused on crafting materials of the future. What does a material of the future look like? It’s a material that functions as “elegantly and efficiently as anything found in the natural world.” It’s an important and exciting concept; one that relies on biomimicry as a tool to achieve. The Expo provides a place to share find inspiration for this kind of innovation, and turn that inspiration into action. The Expo provides an opportunity for participants to share and discover disruptive new ideas and technologies that are reshaping the materials landscape, accelerating the pace of innovation and making Living Products possible today. The Expo will also feature a host of keynote speakers, a set of educational tracks and a trade show exhibit hall. You can 10% off the cost of a conference pass with the code BIOMIMICRY10.

Read MoreBSpec deadlines approaching: Bring biomimicry into your sphere
It’s always fun to look at this map that shows the growing network of Certified Biomimicry Specialists, or as we like to call them BSpecs, who have graduated from our program and gone on to integrate biomimicry into their careers. In fact, there are many more red dots we need to add, as more and more innovators are added to our alumni list. They’re doing things like helping plan the next international biomimicry conference and running companies that apply the principles of biomimicry to increase investment opportunities. You can meet those grads here. It’s exciting to see them integrating biomimicry principles and tools into their primary disciplines, and become leaders in the emerging network of biomimicry researchers and practitioners. Can you see yourself doing the same? The deadline to apply for the Fall B session of the graduate certificate is August 1. You can apply again for the Spring A session on November 1. All the details are here. Our BSpec program has evolved as these...Read More >
