Forge has a long and proud history with the Lighting Industry Association (LIA). Formerly known as the LA, our history goes back to 2009 when we first joined the organisation. Since then, we have continuously benefited from being part of such a dynamic and innovative community. This year marks another milestone in our relationship with the LIA, as we celebrate the renewal of our membership, reaffirming our commitment to the lighting industry.
The confirmation of our LIA membership renewal has been a catalyst for our leadership team. We are aiming to enhance our strategic focus on active participation, collaboration, and deeper engagement within the lighting community. At Forge, we believe in being at the forefront of innovation. The LIA gives us an unparalleled platform to not only contribute to the industry's evolution but also to shape it. Through active involvement, we aim to help drive the future of lighting technology and push the boundaries of what's possible.
As a full member of The Lighting Industry Association, Forge benefits from access to a wide range of valuable resources. The LIA offers an expansive array of events, training courses, and development programmes. These opportunities allow us to both share our three decades of expertise in the lighting field and to learn from other industry leaders. By attending these events, we ensure that we stay ahead of the curve, continuously evolving our capabilities in line with the latest industry trends and innovations.
The LIA’s online resources, including its news section, also provide a platform to showcase significant industry partnerships. One example is our recent collaboration with Lumileds, which has been instrumental in advancing technology to help protect Dark Skies. This partnership highlights Forge's commitment to sustainable lighting solutions and demonstrates how we use innovation to address critical environmental challenges.
Looking forward, we are excited about the possibilities that our continued involvement with the LIA will bring. Collaborating with peers and friends, both new and old, we are confident that our membership will continue to provide numerous opportunities for growth, development, and positive impact within the lighting industry.
