The May 3-7, 2020 LIGHTFAIR trade show and conference, previously announced as postponed, is now canceled, as announced today by the International Association of Lighting Designers (IALD), the Illuminating Engineering Society (IES) and International Market Centers (IMC).
The next LIGHTFAIR will be in May 2021 at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York during NYCxDESIGN – New York Design Week. LIGHTFAIR returns to the Las Vegas Convention Center in June 2022.
“The feedback we received from IALD, IES, exhibitors and attendees is that a trade show and conference in 2020 during the available summer dates are not feasible,” said Dan Darby, show director. “The overwhelming response is a desire to preserve resources to invest in an even stronger 2021 event. We are embracing that counsel and will present the preferred marketplace for commercial and architectural lighting and the most comprehensive training for lighting design and technology professionals again next year in New York and the following year in Las Vegas.”
