FMJ Facilities Management magazine providing industry-specific intelligence to FM and property professionals
The first ever Circular Lighting Live conference and exhibition in 2022 was a sell out success. It is back for 2023 with capacity increased by 30% and more exhibitors.
Established by Ray Molony, and Recolight, and supported by the ILP, the LIA, the Green Light Alliance, and others, the event is a vital step on our industry’s journey to a low carbon, circular economy.
The event brings together the leading experts, specifiers, and policy makers to share their insights into forthcoming standards and legislation, emerging technologies and new business models.
Aimed at manufacturers, suppliers, end users, and specifiers, the event gives delegates vital insights that will drive their businesses forward and ensure they stay at the forefront of the sustainable lighting revolution.
Programme design
Delegate feedback from Circular Lighting Live 22 told us what you wanted to hear; the sustainability challenges manufacturers, specifiers and end users are facing, and the topics they need to understand. Ray Molony and the Recolight event team have used this to tailor a programme for the evolving needs of lighting industry.
Specifiers and end users now asking for a wide range of environmental metrics, including environmental product declarations (EPDs) life cycle assessment (LCAs), embedded carbon calculations, and circularity assessments. Delegates to the conference will learn the best strategy to minimise administrative and third party costs while maximising opportunities in the market.
