Specifier Summit

Specifier Summit

JANUARY 14-16, 2026
Salt Lake City, Utah

Welcome to the Upcoming Avi-on Specifier Summit.

As LED technology has matured and building codes place ever higher demands on lighting performance and efficiency, lighting controls have become at the center of code compliance, the end-user experience, and long-term operational costs.  Controls are also playing an ever more central role in building and life safety systems. 

Please join us in Salt Lake City for an energizing and informative few days focused on deepening your knowledge of how to specify and use controls to achieve multiple design objectives.

Learn and network not just through presentations, but get to know and exchange ideas with your peers from across the country.

Finally, enjoy some time in a great place to think outside the box, meet new friends and colleagues.

Please review the agenda below to plan your time with us.

We look forward to seeing you soon!
