“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.”
