Under the patronage of the Department of Municipal Affairs, Abu Dhabi City Municipality, the 3rd Annual Middle East Smart Lighting & Energy Summit will take place on 24th & 25th November at the Dusit Thani Hotel, Abu Dhabi.
The emphasis is continually being put world-wide on Energy consumption and with over 20 per cent of the world’s electricity being consumed by lighting alone, a 1% saving would contribute hugely towards this initiative.

Over 300 delegates from the public and private sector will come together next week at Dusit Thani to share ideas and discuss strategies around sustainable lighting.
