Lightovation in January is set to feature new and expanded showrooms, product launches and special events, Dallas Market Center announced last week.
The lighting market will add 50,000 square feet of new and expanding companies to create an overall 1 million square feet of residential lighting resources.
“The lighting marketplace in Dallas continues to grow and to add increased value for lighting retailers from around the world,” said Cindy Morris, Dallas Market Center President and CEO. “For new products, for trend insights, for retail skills, for relationship building, Lightovation is a must-attend event.
