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.
