Industry News

The Designers Lighting Forum of New York announced that due to outstanding response of exhibitors and attendees alike, LEDucation 10 will be held at a new location to accommodate more exhibitors and overall general attendance.  LEDucation 10, historically known as the largest table top exhibition and educational event dedicated solely to the ever-evolving LED market and technology, will return to New York City on March 29th -30th, 2016 in a new location – The NY Hilton at Midtown. 

“As LEDucation has continued to sell out exhibit space each year and we have continued to experience record attendance, the volunteer committee felt that our 10th Anniversary provided us with a great opportunity to relocate the show to allow for more space for both exhibitors and attendees,” commented Co-Chair Burt Grant.  “By relocating the event to a larger facility, we can now accommodate our exhibitor growth to bring new exhibitors to the show floor, as well as accommodate more space for our CEU sessions and special events that occur during the show.”

LEDucation 10 will take place on Tuesday and Wednesday, March 29th – 30th, 2016 in New York City at a new event location – The NY Hilton at Midtown.

Hosted by the Designers Lighting Forum of New York, LEDucation has gained a regular following over the years and continues to attract record crowds hosting over 15,000 attendees throughout the events history and a sold out table top exhibit area of over 220+ manufacturers. LEDucation features the industry’s top authorities addressing and discussing the latest advancements, trends, and regulations in solid state technology and lighting.  Attendees are able to participate in a variety of accredited educational seminars held throughout the two-day event and attend an exposition to view the latest LED luminaires, controls and energy efficient designs and advancements from leading LED manufacturers.
