Digi-Key Symposium on Lighting and System Design Slated for Aug. 26

THIEF RIVER FALLS, Minnesota, USA - 2010 年 08 月 19 日

Recent technological advances made in the lighting industry have made it possible for lighting design engineers to push the limits of design and use their imaginations to create some of the most innovative lighting applications available today. While it is exciting to experience this fast-paced growth, it is also difficult to stay up-to-date on the latest products, technologies and applications involving lighting. For this reason, electronic components distributor Digi-Key Corporation, in partnership with EE|Times Group, will present a virtual conference entitled "Digi-Key Symposium: Lighting and System Design" Thursday, August 26, 2010.

Digi-Key has assembled several industry experts to provide valuable information regarding lighting and system design during this virtual conference. Engineering students, professors, hobbyists, professional design engineers, and procurement specialists will benefit from this fully interactive virtual event.

With topics ranging from Today's Lighting Technologies, Solve My Lighting Problems: Ask the Experts, Industry Address, Lighting the Future, and Procurement Issues, there is truly something for everyone at the Digi-Key Symposium. Additionally, attendees have the option to participate in a series of scheduled chat sessions to complement the technical program.

During this virtual event, attendees will be able to view technical solutions from event sponsors including Cree, NXP, Osram, STMicroelectronics, Texas Instruments, Diodes Inc., Microchip Technology, and Tyco Electronics. Additionally, the Content Pavillion will support the technical program with content and resources from TechInsights and event sponsors.
