Tradeshow Spotlight: LightFair International

LightFair International is well known for being a leading architectural
and commercial lighting conference, and Mars International is proud to be
attending the 2018 edition of the show, scheduled from May 6-10 at
McCormick Place in Chicago, Illinois.

As a company that specializes in electrical and mechanical assemblies and
goods, a show such as LightFair International is a perfect place for Mars
International representatives to learn about the latest trends in
commercial and architectural lighting, a key component of the company’s
business. The show is both a conference and a trade show, so we’re able to
learn about the latest in commercial lighting trends during the
educational portion of the event and then see what other companies in the
industry are doing during the trade show portion of the event that
follows. The education portion of the event features various different
pavilions, with topics including general lighting design, exterior
roadway, IoT and intelligent lighting. The latter two pavilions were new
as of the 2017 event.

LightFair International is attended by lighting designers, specifiers,
architects, engineers and like-minded professionals from all over the
world. The 2017 event, which was held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, set
show records in attendance and floor space. Specifically, the show was
attended by 592 exhibitors and 27,939 registered attendees. In terms of
show floor space, LightFair encompassed more than 277,000 square feet of
exhibit space. Now with the 2018 event set to descend on the Windy City
and McCormick Place, which is among the largest conference and convention
centers in the country, LightFair will look to continue the momentum from
a year ago.

When it comes to continuing education, shows such as LightFair
International are invaluable for staying atop the industry trends. It’s
why we make it a point to attend such lighting trade shows USA events each
year. After all, if you’re staying complacent, you’re not doing your
business any favors. With business segments dedicated to electrical
engineering, product design, IoT, electronic manufacturing, productivity
connectivity, and energy and the environment, attending shows such as
LightFair International serve as a venue to keep up with the latest
innovations in the industry and help us better understand ways that our
company can grow. Of particular interest to us this year is the first-ever
Smart Cities Forum, which is designed to present how digital technologies
are the future of city development. The one-day forum will take place on
Wednesday, May 9 of the event.
