The fifth annual Lightapalooza — the lighting event that caters to the custom integration market — will take place February 16–19, 2026, in Austin, Texas. Registration will open in late August.

While plans for the new event have not yet been revealed, each iteration of the show has grown over the previous year. For example, last year’s show introduced individual Showcase Suites that manufacturers could use as demo spaces or dedicated classrooms. Last year also saw the introduction of the Academia Series to the conference program, which provided deep dives on vital topics by lighting geniuses from different markets.
