Agenda

• What are the common challenges for interior designers in cruise, hotels and aircraft cabins?
• How do sustainable interiors impact the customer experience?
• What are the sustainability wins from re-framing the product and its guest experience, e.g offering less?
• What are we learning about responsible luxury?
• How does the end-to-end journey look across air travel, cruise travel and hotels? Are there disparities between the different touchpoints?
• Do space constraints create barriers to being sustainable? If so, what are the opportunities for change?
• How does all this impact interior designers across each sector?
• Some operational, design and sourcing solutions
• How do we measure the impact of our actions/sustainability?

Delegates attend 1 session out of the 3 options outlined below.

Breakout #1: Circular Design 101

• Circular design strategy & lifecycle assessment and analysis
• Designing for end use and end of life
• Material composition knowledge
• Eco-design: Finding a balance between form, function, lifetime and life cycles
• Considerations: Weight, durability, sanitisation, maintainability, ability to be dissassembled
• Sustainable Ends: Waste reduction, closed loop; controlling emissions; and maintaining resources in circulation
• Re-manufacturing in automotives
• Plant-based materials and bio-design

Breakout #2: Colour, Material & Finish

• How to evaluate sustainability criteria when selecting products?
• Exploring the differences in benefits to be had between recycled, carbon neutral materials, bio-based materials, biodegradable and where do virgin products sit?
• How can a material choice make a positive impact on the sustainable processing?
• How to track a specified material through its life cycle to ensure maximum benefit is gained at the end of life?
• How to retain the sustainable elements in procurement through to the finished product?
• Reflecting brand values in specified colours, materials and finishes
• Availability of certified materials
• Owner pull or supplier/designer push? How to create a positive attitude and balance cost with desire/need

Breakout #3: Sustainability Infrastructure: Ratings, Tools & Tech

• How to use environmental benchmarking to support sustainable processes?
• Are the benchmarking tools becoming mandatory?
• Sustainable design choices: What are the key questions which designers can ask product manufacturers?
• Education: Learning from pilot projects
• Setting ambitious targets toward continuous improvement
• New tech: What types of materials are not in existence now, but are reasonably expected to exist in the near future?

• Reducing carbon emissions as soon as possible and towards net zero by 2050
• The significance and role of the cabin in sustainable aviation
• FlyZero cabin design project, key findings
• Lifecycle assessment findings: Which materials to use, which materials not to use
• Bio-sourced design: understanding the criteria, the decision-making process and the business case
• What technologies will help support the journey towards net zero?

After a busy morning, lunch will be served and delegates can network with peers. Delegates will also have the opportunity to explore the product showcase.

• Making stakeholder conversations relevant – how to minimise the overwhelm?
• Understanding the science of behaviour change: behaviours are setting values (not vice versa)
• How sustainability motivations can inform ways to progress (mix of it’s the right thing to do; selling point to customers; meeting ESG criteria can attract funding; makes financial sense)
• Re-designing the product offering to attract sustainability wins
• Weight, packaging and transportation considerations for environmental impact
• How to get sustainability into decision-making (at board level and project level)?
• Building checkpoints for asking the right questions of the right people at the right time
• Building in transparency in terms of type and detail of information shared
• Developing the pitch: ten top tips

Airlines, Cruise lines and Hotel owners adjourn to industry-specific breakout spaces in which they can have an open conversation from an industry brand perspective behind closed doors. Chatham House Rules apply. Participants in the supply chain discuss issues common across all sectors.

Breakout #1: Cruise Interiors

• What does our ecosystem look like?
• What's uniquely important/next in the cruise sector?
• How does governance/legislation inform sustainability progress in our sector?
• What do we as the brand owners need from any ratings tools/certifications?
• What are our 3 key messages for our supply chain?

Breakout #2: Aircraft Interiors

• What does our ecosystem look like?
• What's uniquely important/next in the aircraft cabin sector?
• How does governance/legislation inform sustainability progress in our sector?
• What do we as the brands owners need from any ratings tools/certifications?
• What are our 3 key messages for our supply chain?

Breakout #3: Hotel Interiors

• What does our ecosystem look like?
• What's uniquely important/next in the hotel sector?
• How does governance/legislation inform sustainability progress in our sector?
• What do we as the brand owners need from any ratings tools/certifications?
• What are our 3 key messages for our supply chain?

Breakout #4: Supply Chain

• Consider what are the benefits of stretching sustainability goals?
• How can Certifications help to underpin conversations with clients?
• Where best to invest R&D funds and attentions?
• Taking into account key considerations: IMO, CAA, FAA, durability, maintainability, cleanability, sustainability and beautiful design
• Update on key emergent technologies
• How does governance/legislation inform sustainability progress in our sector?

A chance to grab a refreshment, network with peers and explore our innovative product showcase.

• Understanding how to define - this is where you are, and this is where we need to try and get to next
• Views at the end of the day: What constitutes a sustainable interior?
• What's needed from the supply chain?
• What's needed on the ratings tools/certification side?
• What's next? What's possible?
• Where are the drivers for change: Owners and customers?

All delegates are invited to join us for networking drinks at the Cruise Ship Interiors Expo Europe Opening Party in the evening.
