The inaugural edition will take place March 15–18, 2027, at the Las Vegas Convention Center, with a one-day pre-conference on March 15 followed by the trade show opening March 16. The event will bring together professionals from across architectural lighting, connected controls, software, and intelligent building systems. Produced by Messe Frankfurt Inc. in partnership with the International Association of Lighting Designers (IALD) and the Illuminating Engineering Society (IES), the event is designed to support collaboration across the full project lifecycle.
“Companies across the ecosystem have been asking for a platform that reflects how projects actually come together in the field,” said Latoya Gooding, Senior Show Manager. “Opening sales is the first step in building a highly curated show floor where manufacturers can demonstrate real interoperability and meet buyers who are actively planning their next projects.”
Early Commitment Advantages
Exhibitors that reserve space now can take advantage of Early Bird pricing of $45 per square foot through March 27, along with priority consideration for premium locations, feature areas, and sponsorship opportunities.
Participants will have direct access to architects, lighting designers, engineers, agents, system integrators, and building decision-makers seeking coordinated lighting and intelligent building solutions.
Structured for Faster Discovery
To support efficient navigation and stronger buyer–supplier alignment, the exhibition will be organized into three focused areas:
- Lighting — decorative, architectural, exterior, and specialty luminaires
- Building Technology — connected lighting controls, building automation, and integrated management platforms
- Accessories — drivers, sensors, optics, LEDs, wiring solutions, and related components
Beyond the show floor, education will be a central pillar of the event. A multi-track, CEU-eligible conference will explore lighting design and application, codes and standards, health and wellness, and critical building-technology topics including integration, cybersecurity, commissioning, decarbonization, BIM, and digital twins.
Connected to a Global Platform
Light + Intelligent Building North America is aligned with Messe Frankfurt’s international Light + Building portfolio, connecting the regional market to a worldwide community of manufacturers, innovators, and technical leaders.
