On October 16, 2008 I’ll be in Shanghai moderating the seminar program on “Responsible Fashion & Design” during week-long exhibition event of the same name. The seminar in which I am participating is sponsored by the innovative Danish maker of creative playgrounds KOMPAN.

“The seminar will answer questions like: What is responsible production? How to set up a “green” production in China? Why produce environmentally friendly products? Is there a market for these products? What are the economic incentives? Which companies are producing environmentally friendly products in China and what is their story?”

The program is part of a weeklong conference and exhibition in Shanghai that takes place at galleries, hotels and exhibition halls throughout the city. Exhibition and seminar underwriters include the Royal Danish Consulate General and the Danish Fashion Institute. The series of exhibits and seminars begins Tuesday, October 14. The Danish Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen will be attending the Exhibition on its last day (Tuesday, October 21), and will be attending a press conference and reception at the conclusion of the Program.

For more information about the seminar I’ll be moderating or about the entire Event contact Karina Junk at the Royal Danish Consulate General in Shanghai, phone: (21) 6209 0500 x 301, or email her at karjun@um.dk.

Be there or be square!
