<\/p>\nFor the past decade, builders, designers, and creators alike have been faced with a dilemma. How do we innovate and push towards progress without all the damage? Seeking to address this conundrum, the Philippine World Building and Construction Exposition, or simply WORLDBEX 2018, is intent on opening up a much-needed dialogue among practitioners of the construction and design community at this year\u2019s WORLDBEX Seminars.<\/p>\n
Like its previous installments, this year\u2019s series will feature an impressive roster of guest speakers both local and foreign. With only four seminars scheduled per day, attendees can expect a comprehensive and insightful exploration of the most recent building and design breakthroughs in sustainability and beyond.<\/p>\n
