LIGHTING
LiGHT 24 goes beyond the traditional exhibition format , offering attendees numerous opportunities to engage directly with exhibitors and industry leaders . Visitors will be able to explore a variety of stands showcasing the latest products and services , but the event ’ s value extends far beyond trade stands . On the first evening , attendees can relax at the welcome drinks reception , creating a more casual setting for conversations and networking .
Day two brings the popular LiGHT Lunch , a key event that offers additional chances to build connections . This year ’ s lunch will focus on women in industry , featuring representatives from top women ’ s organisations in lighting , architecture , furniture , and design . For those seeking a quieter environment to discuss projects or potential collaborations , LiGHT WORK - a dedicated workspace within the venue - provides the ideal setting .

LiGHT 24 will also feature the exclusive [ d ] arc thoughts programme , two days of talks led by industry experts from the architectural , design , and lighting sectors . Curated by the editorial team at [ d ] arc media , the sessions will delve into key trends shaping the future of lighting and design .
A separate splinter talks programme will also take place in the Associations Lounge .
