What is a Luminary Leader?

A Luminary Leader is a hosted buyer with decision-making authority and significant purchasing power. As part of the program, LightFair covers all travel and accommodation costs, allowing these leaders to attend at no expense. In return, they commit to scheduling meetings with exhibitors, participating in a guided show floor tour, and attending at least four educational sessions. This mutually beneficial role ensures Luminary Leaders have a productive experience while providing exhibitors with valuable opportunities to connect with influential buyers.

Why Participate?

Participating as a Luminary Leader gives you access to exclusive networking opportunities, invaluable education sessions, and the chance to meet with global suppliers. You’ll optimize your time and budget by efficiently connecting with new partners, all while sharing experiences with fellow professionals in the lighting community. Discover the latest trends and innovations, and explore hundreds of suppliers under one roof, making LightFair an inspiring and productive experience.
