Lighting control strategies are certainly of interest to a large body of energy modelers, I agree completely.
That said, I think the announcement under discussion is misplaced for more basic reasons. Unless the organizers truly anticipate participants to fly into New Delhi from across the globe (bldg-sim is a global body), they are better off focusing on the targeted local engineers & designers this event is intended to host.
I actually attended a local seminar recently covering similar topics (hosted by Philips incidentally), and I learned of that opportunity through my local IES chapter mailing list. Had they tried to reach me through [bldg-sim] I probably would have ignored and missed the opportunity completely.
If this were being broadcast globally over the internet, that might be a different story, but I didn't pick that up from the original post. Even then, if the content is of a product-specific nature then what's available in markets halfway across the globe probably isn't applicable to designers on other continents.
Ultimately, I think these lists are a totally appropriate venue when the audience is supposed to be the broader, global community of those involved in energy modeling, bearing in mind the restrictions already set in place with the list guidelines Jason has linked us to.

I am not a big fan of advertising on bldg_sim but I wonder where that line might be drawn. If we are talking about building performance simulation (IBPSA for example) I would think that lighting would be relevant. Especially considering the mandatory lighting control requirements included in 90.1-2010 and other standards. Tool such as ecotect, Daysim, etc. would seem to belong in the category of acceptable topics for bldg_sim and hence, educational courses aimed at lighting techniques including controls would be relevant?
