The Lighting Industry Association (The LIA) has announced that Hywel Davies, independent expert in building safety regulation and building performance change, will be the keynote speaker at the upcoming Annual General Meeting and lunch.
Exclusively for The LIA’s members and their guests, the event presents a unique opportunity for members to gather and engage in discussions about pertinent topics within the lighting industry. Following the discussions, there will be a chance to network with fellow industry colleagues.
This year will see the return of business seminars, which are carefully curated to inform and educate members about important updates in the world of business. The LIA has also invited the top four students from this year’s Nottingham Trent University talent engagement programme to showcase their innovation, creativity and dedication. The event will also highlight their exceptional ideas which have the potential to revolutionise the field of lighting design.
In recent years, keynote speaker Hywel’s work has focused particularly on Building Regulations and the building safety reform, ventilation and health risks in buildings, and on Net Zero buildings. He has been closely involved in the development of the new building safety regime and its practical implementation in the sector. Hywel has also chaired the expert group review of the Approved Documents which contributed to Dame Judith Hackitt’s independent report, and he contributed to the Morrell Day review of construction products and testing.
“We are delighted to have Hywel Davies as our keynote speaker at this year’s AGM and lunch this May. His wealth of knowledge and experience in Building Regulations, the building safety reform, and the built environment will provide invaluable insights to our members and attendees, and inspire meaningful discussions on the future of the industry,” says Ayça Donaghy, CEO of the LIA. “We are also excited for NTU students to meet members and get vital feedback from people at the forefront of the sector”.
This year’s event promises to feature more lights, music, awards, and diversity. The Annual General Meeting and lunch will take place on Thursday 16th May 2024 at The Drapers Hall in London. It is open to all LIA members, and you can register by clicking here.
