Look for Amber and John while you’re at LEDucation, or, even better–message them on LinkedIn to arrange a time to meet up for a tour of the extraordinary brands that will be exhibiting at the tradeshow.
Wait . . . What’s LEDucation??
LEDucation is a multi-day, annual solid-state lighting tradeshow hosted by the Designers Lighting Forum of New York. While registration costs money, it’s really affordable, and LEDucation is a non-profit event. Proceeds go toward grants, scholarships and other programs that advance the lighting industry. Learn More.
Our brands and our specifiers both love this tradeshow, and so do we! Trade professionals travel from all over the United States to attend, and our Northern California and Hawaii specifiers frequently tell us it’s worth the trip to NYC.
Though the show is definitely more focused on architectural lighting, you’ll find some incredible decorative brands on display there as well. IM Design Concepts, for example, will be there representing several big names in decorative lighting–and we have it on good authority that Boyd Lighting will be revealing an entirely new decorative collection at the show. The variety of exhibitors is part of what makes this show so worthwhile. Whether you’re an interior designer, a landscape architect or a lighting engineer, you’re going to find loads of things you love.
If you haven’t registered yet, but love lighting and want to make the trip out to Manhattan March 7-8, you can register for LEDucation here. Pro tip: You save a bit if you register in advance.
