Marketplace & Talks at Conscious Festival 2019
The Conscious Festival by Green Is The New Black is returning to Singapore on 2 - 3 November 2019. The 5th edition will take place at South Beach Avenue.

The festival welcomes professionals, individuals, families and little green warriors in the making who want to live more consciously and unites them under one roof with the mantra that together, we can do more with less and reduce our collective footprint on the planet.
Its marketplace has grown to feature more than 100 mindful eco-brands, transformative talks, delicious and healthy eats, organic alcohol, interactive art, and games with a purpose.
