The Countdown to Light + Building 2026 Has Begun
After a successful 2024 event, Light + Building organizers are already strategizing for the next edition in 2026.
One of the proposed focal points involves flexible use for city buildings. As the urbanization and the high demand for living space create challenges for cities – new buildings are expensive and many commercial properties remain empty – flexible utilization concepts and sustainable renovations are in demand.
Intelligent spatial planning integrates energy-efficient technologies, smart infrastructure, renewable energies, and intelligent lighting concepts — and Light + Building 2026 in Frankfurt, Germany will showcase these innovations. Exhibitors can register now for this leading trade fair targeting the lighting and building services technology. Early Bird pricing on booth space will apply for companies that register by April 30, 2025. Click here for details
Steffen Larbig, Brand Manager for the show, provides an initial outlook, “My experienced team, our partners, and I are working hard to continue the success story of Light + Building in 2026. There are already many exciting projects on the horizon that will characterize the industry meeting place. I can already say that it will be an attractive platform for architects, interior architects, designers, planners and engineers as well as for trade, commerce, and industry across all trades in a very international and attractive environment in the center of Frankfurt and in the heart of Europe. We are looking forward to talking to all of the companies that want to take part in order to create the best possible conditions for the presentation of their respective companies, personal meetings with customers and, of course, business.”
Be Electrified – Electrifying Places. Illuminating Spaces
The motto for the 2026 edition is “Be Electrified – Electrifying Places. Illuminating Spaces.” This slogan underlines what has been driving the lighting and building services technology sectors for a long time. “The electrification and digitalization of existing buildings in particular continue to be major and fundamental topics,” Larbig said.
The addition of “Electrifying Places” and “Illuminating Spaces” places the two major core areas of lighting and building technology directly at its center. Electrifying Places refers to the constant development and connectivity of urban spaces and the need to efficiently electrify buildings and supply them with electricity in a sustainable way; Illuminating Spaces focuses on the design aspects of lighting technology. Whether indoors or outdoors, lighting is more than just a functional light source. Design, material, and styling combine harmoniously with architecture and surroundings and directly characterize the emotional experience of a space.
The Light + Building network consists of 14 trade fairs worldwide, offering companies access to the growth markets in Europe, Asia, the Middle East, North and South America. An overview of all the events in the portfolio can be found here
The next edition of Light + Building will take place from March 8-13 2026.
