A Lighting Controls Town Hall: The Possibilities and Perils of Wireless Mesh Controls for LLLC, HVAC Integration and Beyond
Tuesday September 16, 2025 9:00am - 10:30am CDT
Light Bites Stage
Lighting controls have undergone numerous evolutions over the past 30 years, from the OG relay panel to early stand-alone occupancy and daylighting sensors, to wired proprietary control networks. Today, we stand at the precipice of a paradigm change with wireless mesh technology. Not only does this technology provide control capabilities previously impossible, it also changes the marketplace landscape through an open systems approach to hardware, greatly reduced reliance on services and interoperable solutions.

This town hall, roundtable style will explore the benefits and capabilities of wireless mesh technology at a level accessible to both business decisionmakers and control experts. Attendees are active participants in this conversation, with spirited discussion of challenges, concerns, real-world outcomes and takeaways to infuse their future work.

Tuesday September 16, 2025 1:30pm - 2:30pm CDT
Light Bites Stage
With on-demand streaming services, immersive video games, and mesmerizing virtual reality platforms, staying home, alone, in the dark has never been more seductive. Humans are inherently social creatures, consequently producers and designers have discovered that creating extraordinary architectural attractions that encourage human interaction is a successful strategy for enticing people to venture out and gather. In this session, we will explore the rapid growth in the application of entertainment lighting techniques across many architectural genres, including retail, museum exhibition, and commercial architecture. The name of the game is attraction and immersion.

Forget the inspirational posters –  we're building a supportive community where you can ditch the work mask, share the real you (even the slightly embarrassing parts), and find joy without having to explain why spreadsheets aren't as thrilling as brunch. Together, through honest conversations we'll peel back the layers, celebrate wins (big and small – because let's face it, surviving Monday is a win), and learn from each other's journeys. Hey, it takes a village (and a good therapist, but that's a different app).

Practical And Profitable Daylight Strategies For Lighting Designers Without Being A Programming Expert
Wednesday September 17, 2025 12:30pm - 1:30pm CDT
Inspiration Station
This workshop challenges the notion that daylight is irrelevant to lighting design. Contrary to the belief that lighting systems need to be optimized for nighttime conditions, we demonstrate how daylighting can enhance your lighting design, reduce energy consumption, and be profitable in doing so. Participants will engage in intuitive exercises and use daylight metrics to explore the impact of daylight on their lighting designs. This course will empower designers to use their own intuition without being encumbered with complex software. Join us to reconceptualize daylight for lighting design and learn how to profit from it effectively.
