Focusing on Energy, Standards and Quality

The Society of Light & Lighting (SLL) and the Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers, Ireland Region (CIBSE) will present an international conference on lighting in the Spring of 2013. A panel of world-renowned lighting experts — from the UK, Ireland and further afield — is currently being assembled. They will cover everything from legislation through to codes of practice, quality, new product developments and LED technology. The common thread throughout will be energy usage and energy efficiency in relation to lighting.

Corporate Deal

There is a special corporate deal for companies wishing to be formally associated with and support the conference. There is no major sponsor and all companies are treated equally. The corporate package is €500 (£400 to UK companies and $600 to American companies). This covers 2 company delegate places at the conference and inclusion of company logos on a rolling PowerPoint on TV screens in common areas; in addition, company names are prominently displayed on strategically placed poster boards within the conference area proper, and throughout the common break-out areas. The PowerPoint also operates as a backdrop to the main conference during intermissions and other breaks. All companies supporting the conference in this way and paying in advance will also have their logos displayed on much of the advertising literature circulated with the conference pamphlet once it is finalised in December.
