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.
