Lightapalooza is the largest lighting (and power) education event in North America. That may sound like an exaggeration but with last year’s event hosting over 10,000 hours of education to 6,500 registered seats, the event saw cumulative years of education being delivered in just two and a half days. And for 2025, Lightapalooza is set to be even bigger and more jam-packed with news than before.
It’s not just about the education, however. There’s plenty of new products and manufacturers to see while at the show as well, and as the show has continued to grow over the years, Lightapalooza has become quite the hotbed of activity for all sorts of news coming out of the lighting and CI industry.
So, as with our other major event coverage for the industry, we’re keeping a live tally of all the news coming out of Lightapalooza 2025. Bookmark this page to keep up to date with all the latest announcements once Lightapalooza kicks off in earnest January 20th. Until then, we hope you’re having a great start to your new year, and we hope to see you at this year’s show!

Lightapalooza 2025 Day 2 Recap and Thoughts
