Showlight is the only international event organised for lighting professionals, by lighting professionals and gives you 4 fantastic days (20-23 May 2023) focused around a fascinating presentations delivered by lighting designers from all disciplines, and plenty of opportunity to network at a range of social events, workshops and dinners, not forgetting the glamorous Grand Conference Dinner of course! The Papers Committee has started work on the programme of speakers and is already spoilt for choice, but will continue to invite participants until closer to the date to ensure the most current projects are considered.
Showlight has always been well-supported by its exhibitors and 2023 will see around 25 exhibitors join the fun. Showlight offers unprecedented access to designers, students, venues and technicians in an informal atmosphere where knowledge sharing is paramount. Not sure if you want to be an exhibitor?

We currently have places left, but they will go quickly as costs continue to represent excellent value for money. Don’t miss out on this once-in-four-year opportunity!
ABTT is a Silver Sponsor of Showlight and we are continuing to invite more sponsors to come on board. As well as the standard sponsorship opportunities, we are also looking for mini-sponsors – companies or individuals or those with smaller budgets who can opt to sponsor the small but vital things that help make Showlight so enjoyable. Past mini-sponsors have supported Showlight by sponsoring welcome drinks on the first night, a student or speaker, or even tea, coffee or lunch refreshments.

It offers unprecedented opportunities for meeting old friends and colleagues, and making new connections. "Showlight is renowned for bringing together the brightest minds in the lighting industry, and we are delighted to contribute to this exchange of knowledge and experience,” continues François Juliat. “As a company, we have always been committed to fostering innovation and collaboration, and we are thrilled to support an event that reflects these values. Hosting Showlight 2025 in Dijon is an opportunity to celebrate the past, present, and future of lighting in a truly inspiring setting, and to ensure the future of lighting continues to shine even brighter." “Robert Juliat has steadfastly maintained its support of Showlight since it originally stepped forward to sponsor Showlight back in 2021,” states Jim Tetlow, Chairman of Showlight 2025. “They have stayed with us faithfully since then, sponsoring our interim Virtual Showlight in May 2023, and now hosting the first in-person event since 2017.
