ILLUMINATE 2008 BRINGS INNOVATIONS IN LIGHTING TO THE AREA

Covington, KY/July 24, 2008-The latest innovations in lighting will brighten the Northern Kentucky Convention Center during the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America (IESNA) Ohio Valley Section's Midwest Regional Conference entitled Illuminate 2008 scheduled for August 21 and 22.

The Ohio Valley Section serves the Greater Cincinnati area, Lexington and Louisville. Conference Chairperson Jodi Doll-Bowling says this year's educational conference topics will cover lighting developments, which include sustainable design, legislation and environmental impact of emerging technologies and design trends. All of which are of interest to today's architects, interior designers, engineers, facility managers and building owners.

Nearly 50 exhibitors and a dozen regionally and nationally known speakers will bring their expertise to the area during the two-day event. For more information about the conference and the Ohio Valley Section Golf Outing go to www.ovs-iesna.org
