We are pleased to present the 13th annual Strategies in Light Conference and Exhibition. This year’s event follows upon the great success in 2011, in which total attendance increased by 40% to more than 4,200 and which featured the largest ever and sold-out exhibit floor.

In 2011, the HB LED industry is undergoing dramatic changes. After an astounding 108% market growth in 2010, driven largely by the adoption of LED backlights in LCD TVs, computer monitors and notebook computers, the market is expected to grow at a much slower rate of 10% in 2011.  Demand for LCD TVs has slowed, and the oversupply of LEDs caused by widespread capacity scale-up has put strong downward pressure on prices. Nevertheless, the HB LED market is forecast to grow another 45% by 2014 to $16.2 billion, driven by recovery in the backlight market and by the continuing adoption of LED lighting. Helping conference participants to understand the dynamics of this rapidly changing and complex market is a key goal of Strategies Light 2012.

Our focus for Strategies in Light 2012 will continue to be on the developments in HB LED applications, technology and manufacturing that will drive the market forward over the next five years and beyond. For the fourth year in a row the conference will feature a parallel LEDs in Lighting Track, which will examine some of the most pressing issues regarding the adoption of LED lighting in a variety of applications. Also, we will continue our tradition of offering a full-day Solid-State Lighting Investor Forum on February 7, featuring presentations by a wide range of advanced technology startups.

We are very pleased this year to be offering for the first time a full parallel track on LED Manufacturing, based on the success of the half-day workshop first offered at SIL 2011.  As the HB LED industry scales up to unprecedented levels of high-volume production, manufacturing issues are receiving increased attention.  Both traditional LED equipment suppliers and suppliers from the silicon semiconductor industry are developing new equipment and techniques to move to larger substrate sizes, increase automation, and improve yield and throughput.  The LED Manufacturing Track, sponsored by SEMI, will explore the most challenging manufacturing issues facing LED producers in the coming years.

In addition to conference programs that will address the many important industry developments discussed above, Strategies in Light 2012 will include a comprehensive exhibit area with more than 150 companies participating. The exhibit area will feature the LED Light and Design Pavilion, which is designed to showcase a variety of LED lighting products, and which will offer a series presentations and hands-on demonstrations on Febuary 8 and 9 for members of the lighting community.

Also, you can look forward to a collaborative environment that is ideal for productive discussions, exchanging ideas, meeting new business partners, and reconnecting with current customers.  For more information about the event, contact Luba Hrynyk, Marketing Director, at LubaH@pennwell.com

We invite you to join us in Santa Clara, California on February 7-9, 2012 for the 13th annual Strategies in Light Conference and Exhibition.
