BIOS Lighting Innovator to Speak on Panel at Cannabis Sustainability Symposium in Denver Oct. 26

BIOS Lighting, a manufacturer and recognized innovator of LED lighting solutions for biological and agricultural industries, today announced that BIOS co-founder and VP of Lighting Research Neil Yorio, will speak at the Cannabis Sustainability Symposium in Denver on October 26, 2016.

During this panel discussion, Yorio will present lighting applications for agriculture as well as address sustainability issues encountered by cannabis grow facilities.

“There is a large amount of confusion about the different lighting technologies floating around in the commercial Cannabis industry,” said Yorio. “I’ll be presenting scientific based details about the newest LED grow light systems and how they can maximize all phases of plant growth and production while significantly reducing power consumption and eliminating hazardous materials and waste.”

Yorio brings a wealth of knowledge on the topic pulling from his 20+ years spent as a NASA plant physiologist and photobiologist at Kennedy Space Center in Florida as well of his present work as VP of Lighting Research in Agriculture where he uses his expertise in plant lighting requirements to design and offer products that are relevant to the industry of controlled environment crop production.

The Cannabis Sustainability Symposium, hosted by the Organic Cannabis Association, will be held on October 26, 2016 at the Colorado Convention Center. This one-day event will educate attendees on the latest tools, techniques and technologies for efficient and safe cannabis production. For more information, visit www.cannabissustainability.org/.
