Professional bodies encourage members to attend RL2015

Local body managers and engineers will be encouraged to attend Road Lighting 2015: Smart City Investment in Auckland on 9-10 March 2015 by their professional bodies.

The conference is designed to assist road controlling authorities plan a transition to LED road lighting through long-term infrastructure strategies, with a view to halving road lighting energy consumption and maintenance costs, and improving road safety.

EquiP (LGNZ’s Centre of Excellence), the New Zealand Society of Local Government Managers (SOLGM), and the Illuminating Engineering Society of Australia and New Zealand have agreed to lend their support to the conference again for a second year by promoting the conference to their members.

Other bodies that have also agreed to support the conference include the Road Controlling Authorities Forum, Lighting Council New Zealand and the Energy Management Association of New Zealand.

Conference organiser Godfrey Bridger of Strategic Lighting Partners Ltd said, “It’s gratifying that these organisations recognise Road Lighting 2015 as a conference worth promoting to their members.”

He said the inaugural conference in 2014 was extremely well received. Conference attendees overwhelmingly described it as ‘excellent’ and an event they would attend again. It was also the ‘Special Events’ winner at the 2014 Public Relations Institute of NZ Awards.
