Strategies in Light & The LED Show are bringing something new to the entire LED and solid-state lighting industry in Las Vegas

LAS VEGAS, Feb. 25, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- PennWell Corporation, publisher of LEDs Magazine and Illumination in Focus, is serving as the beacon of light for the LED and SSL industry February 24-26 in the heart of Las Vegas at the Sands Expo Convention Center, as it hosts the inaugural co-location of Strategies in Light & The LED Show. This impressive gathering of 130+ speakers, more than 300 market-leading companies and thousands of lighting designers and professionals is expected to keep the momentum going with a wall-to-wall filled second day that culminates with the LEDs Magazine Sapphire Awards Gala, where the top honor of the first ever Illumineer of the Year Award is to be given. #SapphireAwards

"We couldn't be happier with how the event kicked off yesterday, but I know many are still on the edge of their seats to see how tonight goes," said Christine Shaw, Event Director of Strategies in Light & The LED Show, "This is truly a great honor for these individuals and companies to receive this type of recognition by such a large group of their peers."

Though the LEDs Magazine Sapphire Awards Gala doesn't start until 7:30pm, each hour of the day is packed, starting at 8:15am with a welcome/plenary that asks the right questions (How big is the LED market going to get? LED Innovation: What does the future hold?) while also taking an in-depth look at the ground-breaking but still untamed sector of smart lighting.

Attendees can then funnel straight from the plenary into the breakout of conference sessions in any one of four tracks (Market & Applications, Smart Lighting, Advanced Technology and The Lighting Track – aka The LED Show) or head onto the first co-located exhibition floor – making it the largest in both events' rich history.

Strategies in Light & The LED Show are allowing full onsite registration during any day of the events' February 24-26 run.
