Held concurrently with LED CHINA 2012, the China International LED Application Forum, taking place on 19 and 21 February, will host over 200 global LED industry leaders and government officials to discuss the current LED market, standards and certification processes, deliver case studies and insight on current infrastructure and commercial projects. Speakers include Alvin Tse, Vice President - Asia Pacific Sales of Philips Lumileds Lighting; Ethan Jing, SSL Marketing Manager, China of Osram; and Hui Tao, Sales Director of NVC Lighting.

On 20 February, the first annual China LED Intellectual Property Summit will take place within the same venue, providing an educational forum on LED IP in China and worldwide. The one day seminar will include lectures on patents and licensing for Chinese LED companies, case studies on LED patent assertion and IP strategies, precedential cases in LED patent lawsuits, and a panel on challenges and opportunities for Chinese LED enterprises.

"LED technology adoption and interest has been booming in the past for so many years especially throughout Asia," said David Tang, Managing Director of UBM Trust. "It comes as no surprise given the comparative costs, energy, and maintenance savings that LED technology provides compared to older generation lighting sources which are still being used by most of the world. We are excited this year to introduce the IP Summit alongside the LED Application Forum and LED and SIGN CHINA exhibitions. We aim to provide a complete well-rounded business and educational experience for all members of the industry."

LED CHINA 2012 expects again a wide representation of exhibiting companies and delegates across the world from all spectrums of the LED supply chain. Over 860 exhibiting companies have already signed on board to participate in this year's exhibition featuring the latest products in LED Display and LED Lighting.

This year, featured exhibitors include: Foxconn Group showcasing their P3 full colour LED display, Liantronics showcasing their new PH2.54 and PH3 high contrast/refresh displays, Unilumnin showcasing their KAKA series with live broadcast applications, and HongLi Tronic showcasing their new HL-LB028 low light decline/high efficiency model with indoor, outdoor decorative, flood, commercial and industrial lighting applications.
