Time is whizzing by and the 2007 Bathroom Conference is coming closer.

This year’s event will take place at the Oxford Belfry on 30 October and promises to be an occasion not to be missed with expert speakers appealing to anyone who works in the Bathroom Industry.

The theme for this year’s Conference is ‘The Consumer - Designing for Life, Trend and Spend’. Delegates will learn all about emerging markets, what consumers really want as a result of longevity and sustainability and how they spend their money.

The impressive line up of speakers includes leading designer Ben de Lisi whose designs for both the catwalk and bathroom are recognised worldwide; an expert in ‘the future home’ from the Royal College of Art, Rama Gheerawo; and, a financier from the Royal Bank of Scotland.


Other key speakers include leading Bathroom Industry expert and former Masco Group Vice President Emerging Markets, Ted Goold; expert in the psychology of bathing from Lancaster University, Dr Will Medd; the authority in understanding and interpreting human behaviour Andy Edwards; independent occupational therapist Kate Sheehan of Better Living; and, branding experts Triplicate.

Speaking about the 2007 Bathroom Conference, Bathroom Manufacturers Association (BMA) Chief Executive said: "The Bathroom Conference will deliver some vitally important messages. We have to prepare for the future and this conference will help the Bathroom Industry do just that.

"As organisers of the event, the BMA strives to bring timely and relevant information to the entire Bathroom Industry and believes this year’s theme is very pertinent. The speakers’ words of wisdom will certainly help propel the Bathroom Industry forward into emerging markets.

"But it’s not all work and no play. The gala dinner promises to be just as rewarding, offering Industry professionals a unique opportunity to network with peers and have a lot of fun."
