    quality experiential stores in high grossing locations, vs quantity. Today,
    we will be exploring several learnings from this revolution that can be

    The Knowledge Hub - Health & Wellbeing/Culture
    30 mins
    * The Knowledge Hub - Culture/Health & Wellbeing
    
    The world is increasingly focused on indoor, healthy air, by mitigating
    harmful pathogens and allergens. Core reasons for this concern are:
    
     * Indoor air quality is considered one of the EPA’s top 5 health threats
     * Wellbeing in the workplace is directly linked to attracting best-talent
     * Recycled air can lead to coughs, illness, and other harmful symptoms
     * Schools have some of the worst air quality with paediatric asthma rates
       up 72%
     * On average we spend 90% of our time indoors
    
    We will explore scientific advances in harmful pathogen and allergen
    reductions. We will share data and findings from our partnership with over
    30 top infectious disease researchers set out to create infection resilient
    environments utilizing the power of nano science. The science based on
    Coulomb’s law demonstrates that positively charged particles tear apart
    negatively charge virus, bacteria, and allergens, using a powerful
    attractive force that captures and eradicates these harmful pathogens and
    allergens.
