The Natural Stoneshow 2011 / 15th - 17th March 2011

Taking place in the stunning South Gallery Rooms overlooking the Royal Victoria Dock, The Natural Stone & Building Conservation Conference has established itself as an important event in the stone industry calendar.

The 4^th edition of the Conference maintains its objective of bringing together all of those who have an interest in the design and use of stone as a building material. Thematic sessions will fit into the following format:

Day 1 is the designated Architects' Day. In conjunction with the Royal Institute of British Architects, Marmomacc Veronafiere and The Architects' Journal, this session will explore the challenges facing architects and designers in fulfilling sustainability criteria when building and specifying with stone.

Day 2 takes the form of an Industry Day. Stone Federation Great Britain will present their RIBA CPD accredited Stone in the City seminar providing an overview on the use of stone from the selection process to the finished project and giving an insight into the trends and analysis of the UK stone market.

The final day is dedicated to stone conservation and will be overseen by English Heritage and their affiliated organisations. Speakers will report on the findings of a range of research projects focusing on specialist stone-related issues and the efforts being made to safeguard the UK's built heritage.

The event will offer accredited Continuing Professional Development training for delegates, as well as providing plenty of time to visit the show.

Detailed information on the full Conference programme will be available from the autumn of 2010.
