(USA) – LEDucation is now accepting speaker proposals for its expanded educational programme for 2027. The conference will feature virtual sessions on 8-9 April, followed by in-person presentations during the three-day LEDucation event on 13-15 April at the New York Hilton Midtown.

“With LEDucation 2027 expanding to three days, attendees will have more opportunities than ever to gain industry knowledge, connect, and earn continuing education credits,” said Presentations Co-Chair Craig Fox. “The additional day allows us to deliver an even broader range of educational content and perspectives.”

Presentations Co-Chair Shaun Fillion added: “With an expanded programme, we are especially eager to welcome fresh voices, innovative ideas, and practical insights. We encourage lighting professionals, designers, architects, engineers, and industry partners to submit proposals that will inspire meaningful conversations and provide valuable takeaways for our attendees.”

Organisers welcome proposals from both first-time and returning presenters. Sessions should address timely issues and emerging trends within the lighting industry through educational, non-commercial presentations. Topics may include emerging technologies, best practices, innovative design strategies, and real-world case studies.

LEDucation is seeking presentations on the following topics:

• Sustainability and material transparency
• Codes and compliance issues
• Lighting for health and wellbeing
• Lighting design tools, communication, metrics, and methodologies
• The business of lighting in different market sectors
• Emerging LED, OLED, and controls technologies
• Case studies of lighting design applications.
• Lighting design and specification topics

Prospective presenters are encouraged to review presentations from previous conferences to better understand the scope, format, and calibre of educational content featured at LEDucation.

To preserve the educational integrity of the conference, organisers have advised that proposals from marketing firms, third-party lead generation organisations, life coaches, business coaches, motivational speakers, or keynote speakers will not be considered.

By presenting at LEDucation 2027, speakers will help shape meaningful conversations and contribute to one of the lighting industry’s most respected educational programmes.

The deadline for submissions for the programme is 15 September, 2026. More information can be found online at www.leducation.org/call-for-speakers
