Digital Practice Management with BIM Focus
Tuesday September 15, 2026 12:00pm - 1:00pm CDT
TBA
BIM is transforming how architects, lighting designers, and manufacturers collaborate and manage projects. This session will explore how digital practice management helps firms streamline workflows, improve coordination, and maintain strong BIM standards. Attendees will learn how to develop efficient BIM templates, train teams effectively, and integrate BIM into their lighting and architectural workflows. Through real-world examples, we’ll show how structured BIM implementation can reduce inefficiencies, enhance teamwork, and improve project outcomes.

Why DALI Makes Sense for Outdoor Lighting Control
Tuesday September 15, 2026 1:00pm - 2:00pm CDT
TBA
The scale of outdoor lighting offers bigger challenges for controls selection and operation. Installation costs, encompassing wiring and labor, can be prohibitive. Post-installation adjustments can require burdensome additional efforts.
Wouldn’t it be great if there was some control solution that bypassed these challenges yet offered superior control capabilities and ease of installation? Enter DALI! By using this open standard, project professionals can unlock a range of benefits including:
• Multi-vendor compatibility for luminaires, drivers, sensors, and controllers without being locked in to a single vendor’s solution
• Design flexibility and future proofing with individual addressability, ease of grouping or regrouping
• Flexible design and future-proofing
• Reduced operating costs with predictive maintenance reports on failing components
• Centralized remote monitoring with fault detection and integration into other building management systems

This session delves into the use of DALI standards for designing outdoor control projects like parking garages and other site lighting applications. The panelists explore common misconceptions, best design and installation practices, and lessons learned from real-world projects.

Confessions of an Old School Lighting Auditor
Tuesday September 15, 2026 3:00pm - 4:00pm CDT
TBA
When upgrading a facility or exterior space with a new lighting system, capturing the existing conditions is absolutely fundamental to the success of any retrofit project. Without an accurate assessment, lighting practitioners cannot possibly deliver an effective retrofit cost and savings proposal.  Join us as we explore the proven process of collecting existing conditions and maximizing the chances for a successful project.

“Selectable” Lighting: One Size May Not Fit All
Tuesday September 15, 2026 4:00pm - 5:00pm CDT
TBA
In recent years there has been a proliferation of LED products with combined attributes of selectable wattage, CCT, beam angles, etc. A primary benefit of integrating these features is a reduction in the SKU or part numbers for manufacturers and suppliers, but is it beneficial to the design community?  In this panel discussion which brings perspectives from the lighting design and lighting manufacturer’s perspectives, we compare and contrast selectable lighting attributes in luminaires and consider which applications may benefit and where the use of a “one size fits most” lighting approach should be avoided.

OMG The 80's are Historic? - Gregory Bateson Building Case Study
Wednesday September 16, 2026 11:00am - 12:00pm CDT
TBA
The Gregory Bateson Building in Sacramento CA was "the most sustainable building" in the united states when it was built in the 1980's. This among other features gave the building a historic listing/presence. While renovating the building there was a focus on preserving the lighting to maintain the historic character while also updating it to meet current energy codes and light level recommendations. Trying to accomplish this sparked wild discussions of what is historic when it comes to recently antiquated light sources.
