LightX 2026

Date
July 27–28, 2026
Location
Grapevine, TX
Venue
Gaylord Texan Resort & Convention Center

Hosted by Bell & McCoy Lighting and Controls and FRM Lighting & Controls, LightX has grown into one of the most talked-about private events on the U.S. lighting calendar.

Blending a trade show floor with hospitality-driven programming, the two-day event draws roughly 1,000 attendees — predominantly architects, engineers, and lighting designers — along with contractors, distributors, and other key influencers from Texas, the Carolinas, Florida, Georgia, Oklahoma, Arizona, and across the broader South.

Bell & McCoy and FRM cover travel, lodging, and expenses for invited guests, pairing manufacturer exhibits and CEU education with pool parties, a private concert, and the kind of relationship-building that a typical convention hall rarely allows. Confirmed exhibitors for 2026 include Current, Lutron, Williams, LSI Industries, and LEDI.
