LightFair 2028 is Canceled
-
LightFair has moved from an annual to a biennial schedule.
-
Thus, LightFair 2024, LightFair 2026 and LightFair 2028, previously planned for Las Vegas, have been canceled.
LightFair, North America's premier architectural and commercial lighting trade show, has moved from an annual to a biennial schedule and will now take place only in odd-numbered years. Co-owned by ANDMORE, the International Association of Lighting Designers (IALD) and the Illuminating Engineering Society (IES), the biennial decision was made after much discussion on how to adapt the event in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Future events, originally planned to alternate between the Las Vegas Convention Center and the Javits Convention Center in New York City, are being reevaluated. LightFair 2024, 2026, and 2028, previously planned for Las Vegas, have been cancelled, while the locations for LightFair 2025, 2027, and 2029, initially slated for New York, may change based on feedback from stakeholders. Official announcements about the future locations will be provided by show organizers.
