An annual architectual and lighting trade show and conference has broken its record for attendance and trade shows, according to its Vice Chairman and President. The 25th edition of LIGHTFAIR International (LFI), which took place from June 1-5 in Las Vegas, had 576 exhibitors and 26,059 attendees. The trade show featured more than 40 categories including integrated design, alternative energy and solar power, OLEDs, healthcare, hospitality, digital signage and software.

The 2014 LFI Conference curriculum offered more than 220 hours of education and contained 81 accredited courses, making it the largest Conference in LFI history. LIGHTFAIR introduced two Forums this year – the LFI Healthcare Lighting Forum and the LFI Hospitality Lighting Forum.

“LIGHTFAIR International 2014 achieved its ultimate calling as the world’s global stage for lighting design and technology,” notes Jeffrey L. Portman, Sr., VIce Chairman and President of LFI. “In every dimension, from education to product presentation to industry convergence, the show was unprecedented in scale and performance across its 25 years of growth.”

“The 25^th anniversary of LIGHTFAIR International represents more than just the history of lighting, it promises the quickly-evolving future of lighting and design – which is only seen at LIGHTFAIR,” says Marsha Turner, Chief Executive Officer, International Association of Lighting Designers.

“LIGHTFAIR International brings together exhibitors from across the globe and offers world-class education,” adds William Hanley, Executive Vice President, Illuminating Engineering Society. “Missing LIGHTFAIR is not an option if you want to keep up with trends and stay ahead of the competition.”
