Light Middle East, the region’s premier exhibition and conference for lighting held annually in Dubai, design and technology, has been rescheduled to September 2021, said the event organiser Messe Frankfurt Middle East (MFME).
The three-day event was initially set to run in January 2021, but will now take place from September 28 to 30 at the Dubai World Trade Centre, where it will co-locate with two other MFME-organised shows: SPS Automation Middle East, a platform for innovative industrial automation solutions; and Middle East Cleaning Technology Week, the region’s foremost commercial cleaning and hygiene exhibition.
The 14th edition of Light Middle East in 2019 had featured more than 300 exhibitors from 32 countries hosting 6,343 trade visitors coming from 83 countries, MFME said.
Dishan Isaac, Senior Show Manager for Light Middle East, said the move is widely supported after careful consideration and consultation with industry stakeholders, including exhibitors, trade professionals, and supporting associations.
“Moving Light Middle East to September 2021 is in the best interest of our valued customers, and the co-location with SPS Automation Middle East and Middle East Cleaning Technology Week offers a level of synergy around the built environment,” he added.
“In its 15th edition, the expo will solidify its position as the region’s number one networking and sourcing platform for the entire scope of architectural, decorative, technical, industrial, indoor and outdoor lighting solutions,” he stated.
Isaac said the platform will be packaged with the return of the Thinklight Forum, “offering insights and reflection on the evolution of our industry, particularly in light of the pandemic we’re now navigating.”
According to him, Light Middle East’s popular Thinklight webinar series will continue, while a new track will be launched under the theme of intelligent buildings: ‘IB Tech.’
