The five-day conference runs October 25-29 in NYC

ATLANTA, GA– LightFair 2021 will present five days of comprehensive, in-person and virtual education for the lighting and design industries through its LightFair Conference, taking place October 25-29 at the Jacob K. Javits Center in New York.

“We are pleased to be returning to an in-person LightFair Conference, where attendees can gather face to face, to exchange ideas about the future of lighting, while simultaneously offering robust virtual offerings,” said Show Director Dan Darby. “LightFair has been setting the standard in lighting education for more than 30 years. This year’s LightFair Conference offers a broad range of informative course options for all levels and is an annual highlight for architectural and commercial lighting professionals.”

The 2021 conference will be a hybrid experience with the option to attend in-person or virtually. In-person sessions will feature limited seating to accommodate social distancing and room capacity stipulations at the Javits Center, and guidelines recommended by the CDC, New York State and LightFair’s Safer Floor. Safer Show program. Virtual sessions will be a concurrent broadcast of the in-persons sessions.

This year’s LightFair Conference features six niche learning tracks:

The Application + Evidence-Based Design track focuses on methodologies and design trends used to enable project success in lighting. Presentations reference concepts and/or cases that illustrate the details and techniques used to achieve design goals from project concept to completion and encompass end-user data, whether it be energy, control, or light specific requirements that help realize the experience of the built environment, as well as concept validation.

The Design Tools + Techniques track covers the means and methods designers use to bring ideas to fruition. Presentations include challenges and benefits of process exploration, software implementation, and unexpected resources.

The Experiencing Light track explores the influence of light on the human experience and nature. How does light impact psychological, cultural and biological aspects of the ecosystem?

The Art + Inspiration track explores sources of inspiration that inform design and technology development.

The Technology track explores the design and specification of components and software that advance technology in the lighting industry, including the implementation and inter operation of lighting, building and connected systems.

The Professional Development + Practice track focuses on the development and evolution of a career or company. Topics include those inspired by leadership and engagement, personally, within companies, and within the lighting industry.
