The 2008 edition of the SSLdesign Summit took place August 26-27, 2008 in
Weehawken, New Jersey...
see below for the 2009 plans
 

The simple question to ask of any SSL or LED conference organizer is this:
"What is your background of involvement with and service to the LED and Solid State Lighting industries outside of trying to put this conference on to make money off the industry?"

The 2008 SSLdesign Summit Conference can lay legitimate claim to being the first of its kind designed to serve the up and coming Solid State Lighting industry. Brought to you by the publisher and staff of the long-running LIGHTimes LED industry news, and Solid State Lighting Design news the 2008 event was a great first-year success including the"Hands On" showcase/demo evening.Ask anyone who attended and they will confirm that it was an strong program with high-quality networking.

For 2009, you can expect to see 3 local versions of the SSLdesign Summit including Taiwan in June, New York in August and Los Angeles in October. 2009 will also put a strong emphasis on increasing the breadth and depth of the lighting & sustainability decision makers. Meanwhile, please take a look at the overview and agenda for the 2008 event and you will get a sense of what to expect for 2009.
