A new zone dedicated to stone products within the landscaping industry is one of a series of new features that has been announced for this year’s FutureScape.

Alongside leading exhibitors in the sector, the StoneScape Expo in partnership with Hardscape and in association with the Stone Federation, will feature a two-day seminar programme. The lineup – which will be revealed soon – includes talks on ethical sourcing, the changing face of quarrying and the use of BS 7533 to deliver sustainable stone landscapes.

The Decking Network’s Karl Harrison will be showcasing his skills in a demo area inside The Decking Hub, a new feature where visitors can learn installation tips and explore products from top manufacturers.

There will also be an entire Lighting Zone in partnership with LightPro to help professionals source products, systems and services. They will be able to discover the transformative power of lighting in a dedicated theatre, which includes awe-inspiring case studies from leading designers.

An award-winning landscaper is creating a Garden of the Future, a large interactive outdoor space using modern and sustainable solutions to blend innovation and nature for a beautiful exhibit.

In the Public Spaces Expo, a new Street of the Future will allow visitors to immerse themselves in cutting-edge design. They’ll be able to walk through a showcase of how technology and sustainability are impacting the way public realm is designed and built to create smarter, greener and cooler cities.

Register for your free ticket to attend FutureScape on 15 and 16 October at the ExCeL London.
