Previous Imagine Bamboo Summits:
The Imagine Bamboo Summit 2022 was an international event with four days of bamboo talk, building, play and engineering. We created extraordinary structures from bamboo, experimented with bamboo circus performance and heard from some of the world's leading practitioners in bamboo engineering and design.
In February 2023, the West Midlands Bamboo Summit took place at The National Brownfield Institute, University of Wolverhampton. This event set the scene for some compelling new collaborations, including an ambition to build the UK's first permanent bamboo house.
In October 2023, the Imagine Bamboo Liverpool Summit saw artists, engineers, academics and policy makers come together to share expertise, case studies and plans for the legacy of Imagine Bamboo is Everywhere in Liverpool.
