LED Specifier Summit Adds New Northwest Event to its Fall 2016 Lineup

Inspiring one-day lighting conference and product showcase brings top speakers and sourcing opportunities to architects, designers and engineers in the Seattle area and beyond.

ATLANTA – Exponation LLC has announced the launch of LED Specifier Summit – Northwest, taking place Sept. 22, 2016 at Seattle’s Washington State Convention Center. Following the format of the successful annual LED Specifier Summit – Midwest in Chicago, this one-day event offers expert education in LED lighting products and practices and is geared toward architects, lighting designers, engineers, interior designers and other professionals involved in lighting decisions and procurement. 

Attendees will gain valuable insights from top speakers on pertinent issues affecting the industry, while earning a variety of continuing education units, including AIA, IDCEC, LACES and NCQLP. They will be able to experience the latest LED lighting products via tabletop exhibits by more than 100 leading manufacturers and to network with their peers. The goal of the day is to share the kind of knowledge that can be applied immediately to projects, product selection and making the right lighting decisions. 

“There has been a demand in the Northwest market for this type of event, and we are excited to be able to bring it to Seattle in 2016,” said Show Director Lea Tranakos. “With the explosive growth in the global LED lighting market – and the changing regulations that accompany it – the Summit offers an important opportunity for area architects, designers and specifiers to stay current on LED lighting products, local energy codes and sustainable practices.”

“As a presenter, the past three Chicago LED Specifier Summit events have been an excellent venue for disseminating the facts about the health and light challenge ahead,” said Deborah Burnett, ASID, GMC, LCG, AASM, principal of the Benya Burnett Consultancy. “I am looking forward to Seattle where we can share the latest, dispel the false claims and get everyone on the same page.”

The event is supported by Seattle’s leading lighting agencies: ERW/HARVCO, Lighting Group Northwest, Sea Tac Lighting & Controls, Pacific Lighting Systems and Zuli.
