Join fellow IES members and colleagues from throughout our industry at the 2017 Illuminating Engineering Society (IES) Annual Conference. Don’t miss this special opportunity to remain informed and network with like-minded individuals.
The IES Street & Area Lighting Conference is the only conference of its kind dedicated to improving the outdoor lighting business of electric utilities and energy service companies. We continue to provide an open forum for end -users facing the same questions regarding relevant products for specific application, lighting controls, bench marks from other users in the lighting community, and milestones reached by municipalities, utilities and DOT’s. We strive to maintain a small community feel, creating a great opportunity to network with industry peers through seminars with speaker Q+A, breakout sessions to discuss issues in-depth, an exhibit hall and many networking events with speakers and peers in a comfortable and open atmosphere.
The Light and Health Institute will be held at the Lighting Research Center (LRC) in Troy, NY. The seminar, led by LRC light and health program director Dr. Mariana Figueiro and LRC director Dr. Mark Rea, provides the latest research as it can be applied. It also provides participants with the knowledge to improve our modern living environments with circadian-effective lighting to support human health and well-being. Attendees will earn 13.25 AIA health, safety, welfare learning units (LUs/HSW) for attending the seminar. They will also receive a continuing education certificate in light and health from the LRC.
The Rocky Mountain Lighting Academy (RMLA) is proud to announce its 2017 lighting courses. The RMLA Technical Course and the RMLA Design Course are offered now concurrently from September 28 to October 1.
While participants in both courses will learn some basics of light and vision, visual perception, the IES TM-30 color metrics, light and health, LED systems, the lighting design process and the aesthetics of light, each course will also offer opportunities for in-depth learning in specialized break-out sessions:
The Technical Course offers an intensive hands-on exploration of photometry, optics, and luminaire design software.
The Design Course emphasizes how to develop strong design concepts for interior for lighting applications and how to integrate daylighting with electric lighting.
RMLA courses prepare you to excel in your job by providing:
- Actionable knowledge and skills in lighting science and lighting design to boost your capability and productivity.
- A curriculum, designed and taught by lighting educators and industry innovators, that balances lecture content with lots of hands-on practical problem solving.
- An interactive and inspiring learning environment in beautiful Boulder, Colorado.

The 88th Annual IES Aviation Lighting Committee Technology Meeting will be held this year at the Hyatt Regency Dallas, in Dallas, TX. Participants will attend over four full days of technical papers, interactive educational seminars and meals. Subjects covered in previous years have included LED lighting, R&D projects, lighting maintenance issues and more. For more information contact: Tara Stewart, IESALC2017@avlite.com or www.iesalc.org.
8th Lux Pacifica
The Illuminating Engineering Institute of Japan will host this 3-day international congress at Tokai University, Takanawa Campus in downtown Tokyo. Lighting scientists, engineers, and designers will gather to share knowledge and participate in technical talks and lectures by distinguished researchers. The campus is conveniently located for participants to enjoy sightseeing in greater Tokyo as well as to Mt Fuji, Hakone, and Kusatsu. It is also easily accessible from Haneda International Airport and Tokyo’s major train stations.
Since 1989, the Lux Pacifica Congress has helped to shape the history of lighting science and engineering in Pacific Rim countries. The Lux Pacifica 2018 will provide participants with the opportunity to demonstrate scientific and technological progress in this region and raise public awareness about lighting.
