The following knowledgeable industry leaders and scholars from Business Wire's ExpertSource database are available to discuss topics relating to Holiday VI, Holiday VII.
Alexandre Fong , Optronic Laboratories, Inc.
As the holiday season approaches, much attention will be spent on ways to go green for the holidays. Alexandre Fong, vice president of sales and marketing at Optronic Laboratories, can share insight into the usage of LEDs (light emitting diodes) for holiday light displays instead of traditional lights and the science behind this groundbreaking technology. LEDs are optical devices that give off light when electricity excites atoms and releases photons. New advancements in smart light emitting diodes (LEDs) promise to reduce lighting energy consumption up to 90 percent, resulting in a substantial savings on December electric bills. LEDs also offer longer life spans an LED can last up to 100,000 hours, more than 10 years of continued use, compared to 1,000 hours for an incandescent bulb and 10,000 hours for fluorescent bulbs, meaning there's no longer a need to buy replacement lights or new strings of lights each year.

Jill Jackson , Dessert Alert
Dessert Alert was conceived by a chocoholic whose memories of the comfort of home are invariably triggered by the aroma of a dessert baking in the oven. Its founder, Jill Jackson, spent much of her childhood on her tiptoes helping her grandmother make her deliciously decadent desserts. Nothing could interfere with her fascination of what was being created just two inches above her head. As the years went by and Jill grew taller, she was able to observe the care with which her grandmother created each of her special treats. Today, Jill displays the same devotion and care while baking in the kitchen. Dessert Alert has applied these lessons to every creation that carries its name. Catering to anyone with a sweet tooth, we provide a celebration of taste during the holidays and all year round, for both family and corporate events alike. We take great care in creating decadent and indulgent gift baskets, whether it be for the biggest of organizations or simply the individual who needs something sweet as a reward to the end of a long day. With menus that cater to the individual or group, we are priced to fit any budget for any occasion.
