2:00 p.m. Keynote: The New Rules of Innovation: Can Lighting Become an Innovative Industry?
For many years optimistic industry observers have boldly predicted that "LED's will change everything". But so far most things haven't changed. Why? Is there a sea change coming we just haven't seen yet? Are we living up to our innovation potential as an industry? Can we act to accelerate the changes we want? Have we created regulations to "protect" us from problems that don't actually exist that act as barriers to innovation that actually does? Are we on a fast track to standardization too soon?The purpose of this session will be to explore these ideas as well as others advanced by attendees. We will also attempt to engage the innovation engine in the room by using social media tools to invent accelerators for industry innovation.
