Participate

Bring your material or solution closer to application.

MaterialDistrict 2027 connects you with the professionals who shape material choices: architects, interior designers, clients, advisers, builders and makers. Not only to be seen, but to have conversations that can lead to specifications, pilots, collaborations and projects.

Why MaterialDistrict?

Your participation does not start with square metres.

First: who do you want to reach and what do you want to achieve in the market? MaterialDistrict is for organisations and makers that demonstrably contribute to more sustainable material application in buildings, interiors and outdoor space.

  • Let specifiers and decision-makers experience material physically.
  • Have substantive conversations about projects, application and technical requirements.
  • Reach designers and the parties who make application possible.
  • Use guest tickets to invite your own prospects and clients in a targeted way.
  • Combine physical participation with editorial and online visibility.
  • Position your organisation within a curated context for sustainable material application.
