Welcome to 2018 Light!

                                                   Light! Design Expo , The Bay Area’s Architectural Lighting and Design
                                                   show.

                                                   Last year’s 2017 Expo was the first year in the new venue, Pier 27 on San
                                                   Francisco’s Embarcadero, was by all accounts a big success. We could
                                                   not have done it without your wholehearted and enthusiastic support
                                                   and participation. We are proud to produce this excellent show, and we
                                                   are happy to take on the position of Chief Coordinators for the show.

                                                   In 2018 we will deliver a show that will be improved in many important
                                                   ways, while keeping the unique accessible and intimate vibe for which
                                                   Northern California’s only lighting design expo is so well known.

What’s New for Light! in 2018

                    In 2017 after the show, we conducted extensive research and interviews
                    with a representative sample of exhibitors and rep agencies and have
                    used the insights we gathered in this effort to improve Light! in many
                    ways. Thanks to all of you who took the time to provide us with this very
                    valuable feedback! Here’s a summary of what we’re continuing to do,
                    and the changes and improvements we’re making to the event:

                    1. We expect a minimum of 700-900+ attendees from the specification
                    community: lighting designers, architects, interior designers, engineers,
                    building owners, facilities and maintenance team, school districts, mu-
                    nicipalities, contractors and more. We will be marketing heavily to the
                    organizations where these specifiers are members, including AIA, IIDA,
                    IALD, BOMA, ASID, ASLA, ASHRAE, and others.

                    2. Once again we will feature complimentary cuisine from local SF food
                    truck stations and dessert carts which will be interspersed throughout
                    the show floor.

                    3. There will be a full bar this time beginning at 4pm. A complementary
                    drink ticket will be given to each attendee, and the ticket sales will be
                    simplified.

                    4. We will continue to host four AIA/LU and IES/CEU accredited classes
                    in a 3000 sq. ft. space.

                    5. Graphic images of local lighting projects featuring the collaborative
                    work of local architects, designers and manufacturers will be on display
                    throughout the event space.

                    6. The western windows will be draped in late afternoon.

                    7. Space Numbers will be issued so that Exhibitors will be able to post
                    their location on social media.

                    8. We have pre-negotiated with a storage facility for early shipment and
                    storage of exhibit materials. For an additional fee, exhibit materials can
                    be accepted for delivery before the show and delivered the morning of
                    the 27th.
