Dallas Market Center will close nominations for its 2018 Light Stars program on March 30.
Nominations for the program, which enables lighting retailers to bring top salespeople to the June edition of Lightovation if they have not previously attended, are accepted year-round at www.dallasmarketcenter.com.
Light Stars honorees accepted into the program will receive airfare and two nights of hotel accommodations during the largest residential lighting show in North America from June 20-23. In addition, Light Stars are granted access to all Lightovation educational seminars, exhibits and events, including the Showroom of the Year Awards and Lighting After Dark party on Wednesday, June 20. The American Lighting Association (ALA) also waives any fees for Light Stars to attend its CLC-accredited sessions during market.
Anyone in the industry may nominate a first-time attendee to be a Light Star. Retailers typically select outstanding sales personnel who would greatly benefit from exposure to Lightovation’s comprehensive product introductions, exhibitor merchandising displays, educational programming and networking opportunities. All nominees are vetted with each store’s management for qualifications and availability before acceptance to the program.
Hundreds of nominations were submitted for the 2017 Light Stars program, from which a record 78 participants were selected. A guest blog from one of these honorees, Leigh Black of Mayer Lighting Showroom, described her experience: www.blog.dallasmarketcenter.com.
Registration is open to all attendees for Lightovation’s June 20-23 edition at www.dallasmarketcenter.com.
