The 2025 Design for Freedom Summit has passed. Please click here to register for the 2026 Design for Freedom Summit.

 

Now is the time to harness the power of the built environment to uphold and support human rights and remove forced and child labor from the building materials supply chain.

Grace Farms welcomes leaders from the architecture, engineering, construction, tech, government, manufacturing, non-profits, real estate, and academic sectors to the Design for Freedom Summit to advance the movement and create true market transformation.

Attendees will engage with the latest research and technology to actualize the Design for Freedom Principles: to find and address forced labor, pursue ethical decarbonization, and prioritize circularity.

The 2025 Design for Freedom Summit builds on the momentum of previous years and will deliver inspiration, hope, and dignity to build capacity to design and build a more humane future for all.
