LEDucation 2026

LEDucation marks its 20^th anniversary as a premier event focusing on advancing the lighting industry, with a particular emphasis on design innovation, sustainability, and evolving technologies. Hosted by the Designers Lighting Forum of New York (DLFNY), the event gathers a broad cross-section of professionals from architectural lighting design, engineering, interior design, building operations, manufacturing, and related fields.

The programme features over 400 exhibitors distributed across four exhibition halls, offering a comprehensive showcase of products, systems, and solutions from commercial and architectural lighting manufacturers. The event’s educational component comprises 40 accredited live and virtual presentations, covering the latest trends in lighting design, sustainable practices in the built environment, technological advancements, regulatory developments, and strategies to address industry challenges. A diverse group delivers presentation content from specialists recognised for their expertise in design, sustainability, and lighting technology.

As part of its ongoing community commitment, all proceeds from LEDucation are directed to support scholarships and educational initiatives through the Designers Lighting Forum of New York (DLFNY) and similar community-focused programs. This redistribution aims to foster professional development and knowledge sharing across the lighting and design sectors.

The significance of LEDucation stems from its enduring role as a platform for industry professionals to engage with new products, attend expert-led sessions, and connect with peers. By combining a robust educational agenda with a broad exhibitor presence, the event supports the evolution of best practices and standards and reinforces the collaborative advancement of the lighting industry.
