The Designers Lighting Forum of New York (DLFNY) is proud to announce a record number of educational sessions and panel discussions will be offered during LEDucation to be held in NYC in March.  LEDucation will offer a selection of over 30 educational sessions and 3 panel discussions that cover various aspects of LED lighting, design, controls and technology integration and application. The annual event offers attendees a versatile array of educational sessions to attend for continuing educational credits (CEUs).

“With the move to a larger location, we not only were able to expand the Expo floor for more manufacturers to participate but more importantly increase the number of educational sessions that we offer our attendees. This move and expansion has enabled us to provide LEDucation attendees with a expansive selection of over 30 sessions from introductory sessions for new attendees to advanced topics,” commented Speaker Co-Chair, Craig Fox of ETC Architectural.  “To help us celebrate our 10th anniversary, we wanted to provide LEDucation attendees with more options than ever.  We are proud to have secured some of the industries most accomplished and well-known industry experts that will be sharing their expertise in sessions spanning controls, design, technology, application and innovation. “

Celebrating its 10th year as the premier lighting event dedicated to advancing the education of the lighting community, the annual event is scheduled to take place in New York City on March 29th & 30th, 2016 at the NY Hilton Midtown hotel.  Special sessions and events have been designed to meet the needs of specific industry areas such as Interior Design and Controls.  The opening CEU session on Tuesday and Wednesday morning are both designed specifically to meet the needs of the Interior Designer, Architect and Student.  These sessions offer attendees the opportunity to become more familiar and comfortable with the new LED technologies and controls; and to learn the basic terminology, light sources, how to evaluate a sample, and write a specification. Directly following these morning sessions, attendees will have the opportunity to participate in small group Docent Tours of the LEDucation Expo with a dedicated guide available to answer specific questions regarding the technologies.
