Events
More than 2,000 exhibitors are set to take part in Light + Building 2026, an international trade fair for lighting and building-services technology, scheduled for March 8–13 in Frankfurt.
The fair, which takes place every two years, will feature companies ranging from major global suppliers to smaller startups. Organizers expect about 70 percent of exhibitors to come from outside Germany, underscoring the event’s international reach.
This year’s theme, “Be Electrified – Electrifying Places. Illuminating Spaces,” emphasizes energy efficiency, smart building systems and the creative use of light. Exhibits and programming will focus on three areas: sustainable transformation, smart connectivity and the design and emotional impact of light.
Guests will begin their journey at Barnsdall Art Park, enjoying coffee and access to tour the Hollyhock House before setting off on a self-paced, three-hour tour of three private Eastside residences. Attendance is limited, with timed-entry slots available throughout the day to ensure an intimate, engaging experience.
Universal Furniture has rolled out its agenda for the Learning Center during the upcoming October Furniture Market. These events, scheduled from Friday, October 24 through Monday, October 27, offer various sessions designed to enhance knowledge in business management, community building, technology and client relationships.
After successful editions in DC and NYC in 2024, Business France is bringing its Art de Vivre à la Française exhibition back to New York City with new French maisons & Brands.

You are cordially invited to visit the exhibition at 45 W 25th Street, and to attend panel discussions and a networking cocktail where you will have the opportunity to learn about the companies and meet them in person.
