Living Future 2026

The Living Future 2026 conference, hosted April 14–17 in Seattle, Washington, convenes architects, engineers, manufacturers, building owners, policymakers, and sustainability leaders advancing regenerative design principles that go beyond carbon neutrality to create built environments that positively contribute to ecological and human health. The event explores integrated strategies across architecture, construction manufacturing, supply chain decarbonization, materials innovation, indoor environmental quality, and policy frameworks necessary to transform the built environment sector toward regenerative outcomes. Programming addresses whole-building performance, embodied carbon reduction throughout product lifecycles, circular economy principles in construction, biomimicry applications, net-positive water and energy systems, healthy materials disclosure, and equitable community resilience planning. The conference attracts design firms, building product manufacturers, real estate developers, institutional owners, and government agencies committed to regenerative practices that heal natural systems while supporting thriving human communities and economic vitality.
