The lighting sector is tightening its focus on human centric design and digital control. That debate frames Future Lighting 2026 in Gorinchem, a two day gathering that brings suppliers and building professionals together around technology, wellbeing and sustainability.
Practical information for Future Lighting 2026
Future Lighting 2026 runs from 18 to 19 November 2026 at Evenementenhal Gorinchem. The venue appears as Next Level at Franklinweg 2, 4207 HZ Gorinchem. Published opening hours are 10:00 to 17:00.
Exhibitor profile at the show
The event lists 483 exhibitors, representing LED manufacturers, lighting designers, system integrators and companies focused on energy efficiency and lighting management. The mix is oriented to products and services for architectural and building applications rather than mass retail.
Programme highlights to note
The public programme includes technical presentations and sessions aimed at lighting designers, architects and facility managers. Notable elements referenced in the programme are the Future of Lighting Innovation Award and the Lighting Experts Dinner. The organiser provides digital tools for visitors such as the Easyfairs app and a Smart Badge to schedule meetings and track contacts.
How to approach B2B prospecting at the show
Prepare a concise commercial playbook before the event. Identify priority buyer profiles and three short technical selling points per profile that address energy savings, system interoperability or occupant wellbeing. Use the app and Smart Badge to fix meetings pre show and plan a route across stands to group potential suppliers by technology. On-stand, favour short live demonstrations and concise technical leave-behinds that enable a procurement decision maker to compare options post-show.
