Hosted by the Designers Lighting Forum of New York, LEDucation has become one of the lighting industry’s most popular events. It has consistently grown over the years in size and importance and continues to attract record crowds with over 3,000 attendees in 2013 and a sold out show floor of 150+ exhibitors. Due to the continued popularity of the annual event and an expanding waiting list of exhibitor requests, event officials have contracted a new exhibit space at the Sheraton NY Times Square hotel that will enable more manufacturers to participate and have expanded the show to a two-day format. Additional details on the LEDucation 8 event expansion will soon be announced.
