This year’s DesignLights Consortium Summit – “Next Gen Lighting: Controls, Integration and the Environment” – will convene October 26 and 27 in Los Angeles.
Registration is now open for the DesignLights Consortium’s (DLC) two-day Summit in October. Taking place in at The California Endowment in Los Angeles, “Next Gen Lighting: Controls, Integration and the Environment” will gather energy efficiency specialists, lighting and controls manufacturers and distributors, decarbonization advocates and other industry stakeholders to discuss the latest trends and technologies to maximize energy savings, enhance building operations and protect the environment through lighting.
“Collaborating with our members and stakeholders is the best way to find solutions to shared challenges,” said DLC Executive Director and CEO Tina Halfpenny. “Together, we’ll share ideas and information on a range of smart lighting issues – from integrating lighting controls with building systems and replacing first-generation LEDs to strategies for minimizing light pollution.”
