LIGHTFAIR will take place during New York City’s annual celebration of design, NYCxDESIGN, in 2021. The world’s largest annual architectural and commercial lighting tradeshow and conference will be located at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center alongside international high-end and contemporary furnishings tradeshow ICFF for its five-day conference and three-day tradeshow.
LIGHTFAIR was last staged in New York in 2015, where it set records in tradeshow size and attendance. Its last two East Coast stagings in 2017 and 2019 in Philadelphia also saw strong shows and attendance supported by the city’s continuing emergence as a center of design, architecture and innovation.
The 2021 event will feature alignment with NYCxDESIGN and ICFF along with new programming and amenities plus a new tradeshow layout and streamlined conference debuting in 2020. The estimated 300,000 NYCxDESIGN attendees and the 52,000 designers, 8,000 firms and thousands of students from top design and architecture schools in the New York design community will have access to both the LIGHTFAIR and ICFF tradeshow floors plus additional events taking place across the five boroughs.
Leasing for LIGHTFAIR 2021 will begin in mid-2020 and attendee registration will open in early 2021.
