LEDucation 7 will take place on Wednesday, March 20, 2013 in New York City with an expansion in exhibit space and educational sessions at the Hotel Pennsylvania – Penn Plaza Pavilion.

Over 2,500 members of the lighting design, architectural and engineering community are expected to attend LEDucation for its seventh annual educational event and expo on LED technology. 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 close to 2,200 attendees in 2012 and a sold out show floor of 98+ 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 that will enable more manufacturers to participate.
