The 25th edition of LIGHTFAIR International, sponsored by IES and IALD, set new all-time attendance and trade show records for its five-day run in Las Vegas June 1-5. I have to say it was the best LIGHTFAIR in many years.
The LIGHTFAIR 2014 trade show floor covered a record 239,800 net square feet and spotlighted 576 exhibitors, including 107 first-time exhibiting companies and 103 manufacturers headquartered outside the U.S. Attendance also broke all previous records with 26,059 professional attendees registered. The LIGHTFAIR 2014 attendee population included representatives from 74 countries.
LIGHTFAIR has been recognized by its ranking within the Trade Show News Network 2013 listing of the Top 25 Fastest-growing Trade Shows for Net Square Footage and the 2013 listing of the Top 250 U.S. Trade Shows. LFI also has been listed as a Trade Show Executive 2013 Fastest 50 honoree and 2012 Gold 100 honoree.
