Designer Ben de Lisi is set to speak at the 2007 Bathroom Conference, to be held at the Oxford Belfry on 30 October.

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 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 will include Dr Will Medd from Lancaster University, an expert in the psychology of bathing; Andy Edwards, an authority in understanding and interpreting human behaviour; and independent occupational therapist Kate Sheehan of Better Living.

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."
