The 2013 program will include: Keynote and Plenary Sessions, Market Track, Technology Track, workshops, and the Investor Forum. Submitted papers should describe or address:
Efforts to improve the quality and performance of LED lighting
Activities that help accelerate the market adoption of LED lighting
Results from real-world LED lighting applications and installations
Development of various aspects of the LED lighting “ecosystem”: LED technology, manufacturing and supply chain, applications, lighting and building controls, end-user acceptance and experience, and financing.
Strategies in Light Europe is in its 4th year of providing Europe’s most comprehensive conference and exhibition for the rapidly-growing LED lighting industry. The event offers a platform for the best networking opportunities and a forum for the sharing of ideas and experiences in the latest technologies and market developments.
Papers will be selected by the Advisory Board and conference co-chairs on the basis of technical content, audience interest and industry relevance. Suggested subject areas and themes are listed below. When submitting an abstract, please specify whether it is intended for the Market Track or the Technology Track, for a workshop, or for the Investor Forum.
Abstracts with overt marketing/sales/commercial content will not be accepted. Please do not submit abstracts for presentations that are scheduled to be delivered at other LED-related or lighting conferences.
