Coming February 24:  The IES Los Angeles Product Fair 2.0

Downtown L.A. will soon be aflutter with lighting exhibits and lighting people

LOS ANGELES -- The Wally Whitney Memorial Product Fair returns with an enhanced experience. With nearly twice the space, booth spaces increased by 2 feet, and aisle widths increased by 4 feet, this year's Product Fair will be our finest. Strategically placed barista coffee stations, and a mid-century modern themed lounge will serve great food and provocative deserts, all free of charge. Naturally, there will be No-Host Bars where over 120 exhibiting manufacturers may be picking up the tab. The new location at The Reef in DTLA is a more centrally located venue for everyone in our community, and parking and admission remain free!

Most importantly, all proceeds from this event directly fund the education projects that IESLA undertakes every year. They include the Saul M. Golding Memorial Internship at the California Lighting Technology Center and the Russell Cole Memorial Lighting Design Competition. Many of the past winners are at work in our industry today, in Southern California, thanks to these programs.

You don’t want to miss the Los Angeles Lighting Community’s “Coming out Party for the W.W. Product Fair 2.0!” Please plan to join us!
