The Designers Lighting Forum of New York and the LEDucation committee recently announced the new date for LEDucation 2020, which was postponed due to growing concerns of COVID-19 in the lighting industry and New York community. Originally slated to be held in New York City on March 17-18, the event is now rescheduled for August 18-19, 2020 at the New York Hilton Midtown.

LEDucation 2020 is host to more than 400 exhibitors representing the lighting industry’s most innovative design and technology companies. The two-day event was anticipated to draw more than 6,000 attendees.

“We recognize all the hard work that so many have put into preparing for the LEDucation Trade Show and Conference,” said Burt Grant and Caroline Rinker, LEDucation co-chairs. “Based on the evaluation of evolving circumstances, it is clear that it would be an unacceptable risk to bring so many together in New York next week. The safety and health of our industry is of utmost importance.”

The March conference was set to feature 33 sessions, led by lighting and allied field industry experts. “We appreciate the effort and support of our LEDucation 2020 speakers” said Wendy Kaplan and Craig Fox, presentation co-chairs. “We look forward to working with them again for the August show.”

All registration passes will remain valid for the August program, and for those who can no longer attend, a credit for this year’s trade show can be applied to LEDucation 2021, taking place March 16-17, 2021.
