Philips Lighting, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and OSRAM Sylvania are just a few of the key industry players who will look forward to the future of LED lighting at Smithers Apex’s LEDs & the SSL Ecosystem 2013: Phase II the Path to Profit. The 14th annual conference and exhibition will take place from October 28 to 29 at the Omni Parker House Hotel in Boston, MA, and will cover future applications, sensing and automation, emerging technologies, the future of design, metrics and others.

“Through more than 30 presentations from lighting designers, researchers, investors and visionary organizations, LEDs & the SSL Ecosystem will provide attendees with a developing blueprint for the integrated lighting systems. Most importantly, attendees will secure the relationships and partnerships with industry leaders across the value chain needed to make the lighting systems of the future a reality,” said John Lewinski, head of US events for Smithers Apex. “By relocating this year to the Northeast, we have access to one of the most innovative research, design and manufacturing hubs in the world. LEDs and the SSL Ecosystem will provide all attendees with the resources needed to take advantage of the many opportunities that are rapidly developing as LED technologies move into new applications.”

Attendees at LEDs 2013 will hear from the end-users, designers and manufacturers moving the lighting industry forward including Acuity Brands, OSRAM, Digital Lumens, Lighting Research Center of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, MIT Media Lab, Philips Lighting and TÜV SÜD etc.
