Control This! is quickly establishing itself as one of the premier lighting events in the Northeast with a special focus on lighting controls and education. Control This! brings technology experts, specifiers, educators, contractors, students and manufacturers together in an educational and exhibit setting to learn about the latest developments in Lighting Controls and Energy Management technologies. Past year's events featured over 40+ exhibitors showcasing their products.  Control This! Seminars are eligible for Continuing Education Credits recognized by many organizations, and the program provides valuable information about lighting controls--from construction and commissioning to the implementation of design and special effects--alongside a product fair featuring practical demonstrations that support the educational presentations.

“We are so pleased with the support and turnout of attendees and sponsors for this year’s event. The diversity of the presenters and the quality of the exhibitors delivered a great learning experience for all who attended,” commented Meg Smith, Event Co-Chair. “The desire for those to educate themselves on the topic of lighting controls systems and innovative energy management technologies is so apparent with the interest we received once again from the design, engineering and lighting community.”

Control This! 2011 featured six accredited educational sessions and the inauguration of “Innovation Place”, a dedicated exhibit area to show case “not-quite ready for market” technologies and innovations. The expanded technology showcase offered lighting designers, architects, specifiers, contractors, educators, and students a unique opportunity to view the industry’s newest  technologies and innovations at more than 40 control manufacturers’ exhibits, while a series of seminars conducted by some of the industry’s leading authorities gave attendees a chance to catch up on the latest advancements.
