Light & technology in a new language at LIGHTFAIR International 2016

Trade show floor and pavilion areas will be expanded for the 27^th annual event with new exhibitors present across multiple categories. The trade show will open at 9 a.m. each day, which is one hour earlier on the first and second day than in years past. LFI 2016 will deliver further expansion of categories including: controls, decorative, alternative energy including solar power, software, exterior and roadway, digital signage, healthcare and hospitality.

LFI’s six growing specialized pavilion areas include: building integration, daylighting, design, exterior & roadway lighting, global light + design and new exhibitor.  New events in the Exhibitor Pavilion will connect attendees to exhibitors participating at LIGHTFAIR for the first time.

The 2016 LIGHTFAIR Conference program will be announced in November.  During the Conference, experts will share how elements such as inspiration, applications research, methodology and technology & tools contribute to the overall integrated design process.

Networking events will continue to be an attractive part of the LIGHTFAIR experience.  The popular LFI Spotlight Lounge will take on a new name this year – The HUB – to reflect the nature of the space and events that take place there.  It is an interactive meeting place where those in the lighting and design community connect with colleagues from across the globe for networking, education and fun.

Preceding and setting the stage for the trade show opening, the prestigious LFI Innovation Awards will highlight the industry’s most innovative products and designs introduced during the last 12 months.
