Themed ‘THNKLIGHT : A new dimension”, this year’s fair, held from 9 June to 12 June, gathered a record 145,080 visitors from 137 countries, increased by six percent compared to last year, with over 100 seminar sessions coming to life with expert speakers and attendees representing various facets of the lighting world.
The exhibition showcased lighting solutions from 2,399 exhibitors from 23 countries at China Import and Export Fair Complex in Guangzhou. Spanning over 175,000 sq-m, the exhibition allowed companies to introduce innovative lighting-related products and applications for retail, residential, industrial, office, hospitality, transport and urban purposes.
