“We are so appreciative of the continued support that LEDucation has received from the industry over the years and this year’s event has surpassed our expectations with an amazing record breaking attendance,” commented Event Vice Chair and one of the original committee members, Robert Nadel.

“From the inception of this event in 2007, we aspired to bring a regional event to the Lighting industry that provided both an educational forum that gives the design, education and engineering community the opportunity to speak directly with a variety of manufacturers about the latest technologies and products, but to also gain valuable educational credits with our accredited seminars.”
