February 6, 2017

The world’s top thought leaders from the realms of light, design and technology will share their expertise at Lightfair International 2017 in an all-new conference curriculum spanning the spectrum of contemporary theory and practice.

Taking place in Philadelphia, PA over five days in May, the conference will bring the global lighting, design and technology community’s most influential voices to the Lightfair stage in a program offering 77 courses totalling more than 190 education hours. The event begins with the pre-conference Lightfair Institute on May 7-8 and concludes with the conference and trade show on May 9-11.

The 2017 conference program features new speakers, compelling keynotes and informative education sessions in a robust array of courses and topics. Highlighting the conference are two leading-edge forums that will explore some of the newest advancements in the industry — IoT & Smart Lighting Forum and Light & Health Forum.
