In August 2015, HotHouse returns to the Powerhouse Museum with HotHouse LABs.
After a year of sell-out sessions in 2014, the series is back with a new workshop format designed to help organisations find their green advantage. HotHouse is offering these workshops with sister program of the Total Environment Centre, Smart Locale Ultimo-Pyrmont. Thanks to grant support from the City of Sydney, HotHouse LABs are free for organisations based or invested in the Ultimo-Pyrmont area.
HotHouse LABS mixes fast talks, group discussions and structured activities to help you explore challenges unique to your business. Whether you are a business owner, a building manager, a property owner, or you just work locally and are curious, these events are for you.
