AZZ PREPARES FOR LFI 2018

Light Fair International 2018 is just around the corner! To be held in Chicago May 8-10, with preconference events May 6 and 7, LFI, established in 1989, is the largest annual architectural and commercial lighting trade show and conference. AZZ couldn’t be more excited to announce their attendance at Light Fair.

This year’s show features more than 550 exhibitors in 6 pavilions, with over 200 hours of educational opportunities, so there are plenty of reasons to head to Chicago. The accredited courses in lighting, design, technology, lighting and health, smart lighting, managing LED costs, and others range from 60 minutes to 2-day immersion sessions at every level, from Foundational to Advanced as well as General.

One of the greatest draws to trade shows is the unique networking platform they provide, and LFI is no exception. AZZ is thrilled and honored to be connecting with other professionals in a diversity of fields including architects, lighting designers, retail professionals, students, and urban planners, to name a few. On display will be products such as high-end fixtures, specialty luminaires, mounting devices, and others with representations in areas such as IoT, building integration, and solar solutions.

At Lightfair International, the transformative power of innovation and imagination converge in a global presentation of light and technology—brilliantly revealed. It’s where new discoveries, new connectivity, new knowledge, and new solutions propel lighting design quickly into the future.
