The 7th annual LED professional Symposium + Expo will be taking place from September 26th to 28th. Every year, renowned speakers and experts from the areas of research and the lighting industry meet in Bregenz, Austria for a three-day symposium and exhibition where the newest lighting innovations and technologies are presented and discussed. The symposium is comprised of a series of lectures, workshops, forums, and discussion panels while the exhibition is filled with the newest technologies components and developments presented by international companies and organizations. The LpS focuses on an expert audience from the areas of Design & Engineering, Quality Assurance, Technical Management, and authorities from the international lighting industry. This year, the organizers are expecting over 1,600 visitors from 50 countries.
In 2017, for the first time, the event Trends in Lighting (TiL), will be running parallel to the LpS. Trends in Lighting is a forum for architects, interior designers, lighting and building planners, lighting designers, and lighting consultants. TiL will be looking at the subject of transitions in indoor lighting, as well as, covering current trends like Human Centric Lighting, Smart Lighting, and the Internet of Things.
The motto for the LpS 2017 is “Smart Technologies for Lighting Innovations” which will be structured around the subject areas of Strategy, Design & Development and Applications & Solutions over three days.

The exhibition associated with the conference will present the newest products, capital goods and services. The expo offers comprehensive views of everything from components to modules, measuring devices to production machines, and research facilities to test laboratories. Companies like auer Lighting, Arrow, AT&S, Bartenbach, Dow Corning, Instrument Systems, Konica Minolta, MEGAMAN, Merck, Nichia, Plessey, Samsung, Seoul Semiconductor, SwitchTech, TUEV SUED, Vossloh-Schwabe, Wacker Chemie and WAGO will be presenting their market innovations in Bregenz.
Digitalization, communication and new lifestyles change the way we deal with light. These changes necessitate adaptations and improvements to existing light systems and lighting innovations. Completely new concepts are needed due to the rapid developments of LED and OLED technologies and altered implementation profiles. Trends in Lighting is a forum for architects, interior designers, light planners, lighting designers and IT/IoT system integrators, that looks at the newest trends in the lighting industry and takes place parallel to the LpS. Next to the forum the TiL expo, which will be in the Foyer of the Bregenz Opera House, will be presenting highly innovative lighting systems, luminaries, lamps, control systems and fixtures. The motto of this expo is “Smart Trends in Indoor Lighting – from HCL to Luminaries to Internet of Things”.
