April 29, 2010... SSL Design's 2010/2011 SSL Summit series
has kicked off with the introduction of its New York co-chair team which includes
Wiedenbach Brown CEO Christopher Brown, and Lightswitch Architectural's Avraham
Mor. In addition, the SSL Summit organizers have posted the topic agendas for
both the Sept.
14-15 New York conference, as well as for the Jan. 2011 LA event.
"The SSL Summit is all about quality, and our co-chair selections are
an instrumental part of shaping that overall quality theme," commented
series organizer and SSL Design and LIGHTimes publisher, Tom Griffiths. "Chris
Brown has served the US lighting and property operator communities' moves towards
energy efficiency literally for decades. Most notably, in 2007 he completed
13 years as chairman of the Energy Committee of the New York Building Owners
and Managers Association (BOMA). Over on the lighting design side, Avi Mor is
considered one of the more outspoken advocates of commonsense approaches to
deploying LED lighting, and has a considerable track record in implementing
quality solutions that are showing real benefits and providing payback to his
clients. Between the two, we are confident the Summit will be successfully reaching
into both ends of the larger lighting decision maker community, to bring them
the information they need to stay ahead of the curve in this rapidly moving
technology."
Participants who receive product or company exposure, whether as speakers,
sponsors or showcase participants, are vetted to assure their truth-in-advertising
and basic quality checklist by the Summit program committee. Day 1 of the program
is geared towards the needs of lighting decision makers, including property
operators, architects, lighting designers and consultants, and concludes with
an evening cocktail showcase reception where attendees enjoy high-level networking
and hands-on time with vetted products . A limited number of complimentary registration
invitations are extended to members of the decision maker community based upon
referrals from sponsoring companies. Day 2 provides additional depth in issues
of specific relevance for luminaire designers and the component and solutions
providers that support them. "This isn't an event that is about body count.
It's about how to truly separate the wheat from chaff, and when you vet for
quality as we do, you end up with not just a quality solution-focused event,
but a truly high quality networking and business conference," concluded
Griffiths.
