The week right before any event is packed with last-minute details but even more so when it is your brand event. In case you missed it, Strategies in Light is right around the corner. 😊 Next Tuesday and Wednesday, Aug. 24–25, an array of industry experts in the LED and solid-state lighting (SSL) design and supply chain is preparing to educate you in the audience on topics from the latest supply-chain and market analysis to components and systems for health and wellbeing to integration of lighting controls and other systems for smart buildings. We’re offering this online opportunity for only $95.* I’m an editor and I don’t usually talk about costs, but I think it’s important to note that the program comes with full 60-day access on demand when you register — which means you can revisit anything you missed, watch in-platform video interviews, and really let the insights sink in during that access timeframe.
As our events team is working hard to prepare all those speakers and manage the Strategies in Light program, we are also putting the final touches on the 2021 Sapphire Awards presentation. The awards will be announced at the end of day 1 of Strategies in Light, and you don’t need to register for that presentation. Anyone in the industry can join in to find out who made it to the top out of our finalists. Simply click through on Aug. 24 at 5:00 PM CDT (6:00 PM EDT) to watch the Sapphire Awards live.
Finally, Maury Wright and I are working hard on the September issue of LEDs Magazine at the same time, and it’s got a great mix of content coming to you. Of course, there will be a feature-length article on the Sapphire Awards winners and projects recognized for Design Excellence in Networked Lighting Controls, in partnership with the Lighting Controls Association. But we also have features covering some compelling automotive technology, a close look at market innovation and transformation programs, and a technical dive into a software method that addresses modeling spherical irradiance for ultraviolet disinfection systems development and deployment. Look for that issue content to drop on our website the second week of September, and subscribe so you can flip through the full responsive magazine in mobile-friendly format and access the issue archives anytime.
