After opening registration to the entire custom installation community this past fall, Lightapalooza 2023 has officially announced the complete educational programming schedule, along with expert panelists and a compelling speaker lineup.

Other parts of the event’s educational opportunities incorporate an expert speaker lineup including Janet Lennox Moyer, IALD (sponsored by HK Lighting), an internationally recognized lighting designer who has received many design awards, judged lighting competitions, been published extensively and taught all over the world. Additionally, Lightapalooza speakers will feature Amer Maleh, VP or Sales-Strategic Accounts at Delta Light Group North America, Peter Romaniello, Leader of Conceptual Lighting, LLC and David Warfel, Founding Designer of Light Can Help You.
“Lightapalooza is double in size and education already in just one year since inception, demonstrating high interest and the need for such an event,” said Tom Doherty, Director of Technology Initiatives for HTSA. “We set out to build the best, most informative peer-to-peer lighting educational opportunity bar none. Attendees will not only learn directly from advanced sessions and experts but will have the unique chance to connect with and talk lighting with 500 of their peers.”
This year’s iteration of the massive lighting tradeshow is committed to sharing knowledge and raising the bar in the lighting category for custom integrators and vendors.
