Strategies in Light seeks engaging speakers to advance lighting expertise
Celebrating its 20th anniversary, Strategies in Light continues to cover emerging technologies and applications that are most critical to the advancement of lighting. The conference offers an environment for learning, observing, and engaging with every segment of the market. The call for abstracts is now open, and the conference programmers are excited to see the industry gather to provide quality content that inspires professionals to transform the way they approach light.

At the conclusion of this year’s event, attendees provided feedback on the format and topics covered during the program. Emerson director of product marketing Michael McCormack commented that Strategies in Light “builds your awareness of additional challenges and opportunities coming down the pike, plus gives you a chance to get out of your bubble for a couple of days and look at that whole broader spectrum of lighting.”
Participants also zeroed in on the value of a deeper dive into emerging markets and technologies that will continue to drive industry growth. Brandon Melton of Regency Lighting said, “The IoT and connected lighting subject matter provides valuable insights from top industry professionals that we can then take and apply to the applications we are involved with in consulting and providing value to our clients.”
