A World Without Oil
January 21, 2010 - 24, 2010
Toronto

Leading designers from around the globe are invited to imagine A World Without Oil at an all-day symposium in Toronto. They will share their practical experiences in sustainable design, and dare to dream of a society that is no longer dependent on oil. The symposium will provide critical insight to new and alternative practices, materials, technologies and products. It will challenge its audience to think outside the box, and ultimately illuminate and inspire on the provocative subject of A World Without Oil.

The symposium is recognized by the Interior Design Continuing Education Council (IDCEC) and attendees can claim 0.6 CEUs for full day and 0.3 CEUs for half day. Information on all speakers and registration information may be found on their website at www.interiordesignshow.com.

GDC members are offered free trade day admission to the show on Trade Day (Friday, 22 January 2010). Please use the following link for registration: http://www.interiordesignshow.com/trade-day

  • May 03 7:30 pm - 11:59 pm
    Location: The Ironworks: 235 Alexander Street, Vancouver
    Using scientific proof and state-of-the-art multimedia techniques, Aaron James Draplin of the Draplin Design Co. delivers a suckerpunch of a talk that aims to provide bonafide proof of work, the highs and lows of a ferociously independent existence and a couple tall tales from his so-called career in the cutthroat world of contemporary graphic design. Just a regular guy with a trajectory a little dirtier than yours, his talk is open to all oncomers brave enough to show up. If you are a youngster, you may find yourself inspired to attack your design future in a different way. If you are established, you may just leave feeling grateful you don't have anything to do with him. Hard to say. One night only, Vancouver!
