About this Event

About the Event

Whether you’re a builder, architect, or designer—if lighting matters to you, this is a conversation worth being part of.

Not every project, new construction or renovation, ends with the lighting it deserves. Some start with good intentions but fall short by the time the switch gets flipped. So where’s the disconnect? More importantly—what happens when it all goes right?

Join us for a candid conversation with experienced professionals who know what it takes to get lighting right—by working together from the start. Whether you’re planning, building, or retrofitting, this panel pulls back the curtain on what makes the difference between “just good enough” and exceptional.

Reception at 5:30PM with the panel conversation starting at 6:00PM—7:30PM

Pizza and non-alcoholic refreshments will be served.
