BePOSITIVE and LIGHTING DAYS 2019 Review: A Resounding Success Event

In 2019, the BePOSITIVE exhibition once again confirmed its place as the big national gathering on the energy and digital transition in buildings and regions. It notably joined forces for the first time with Lighting Days, France’s major event and exhibition in lighting and LED technology. Together, they proved a real success, their themes being very complementary, underpinning new synergies and stimulating new business opportunities! For three days from 13th to 15th February at Eurexpo Lyon, the joint exhibitions swirled to the rhythm of innovations, trends, business, exchanges, feedback, accounts. Here’s our Lighting Days 2019 Review.

Lighting Days 2019 Review: Visitor Attendance Shows Big Increase

Almost 30,000 professional visitors made their way to BePOSITIVE and Lighting Days over the three days, proof if it were needed that the energy and digital transition really is a major societal and industrial concern for  professionals. A noteworthy progression in the number of visitors was recorded: 10% up on the 2017 edition.

BePOSITIVE and Lighting Days also consolidated their status as nationwide gatherings, with nearly 50% of French visitors from outside the home region of Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes and certain regions showing very strong progression, especially Grand Est and Ile-de-France, whose numbers doubled.

On the international scale, the upswing was even more striking, with an increase of 40% in visitors from abroad compared with the 2017 edition and expansion to 73 different countries (versus 59 in 2017), the top five being Switzerland, Italy, Germany, Belgium, and Spain Visitors from abroad thus accounted for 7% of the traffic to companies’ stands during the exhibition.

Lighting Days Awards – Women in Lighting

Because light enables seeing, understanding, acting, admiring, contemplating, and dreaming, the Lighting Days AWARDS highlight light!
At this, the 1st edition, the awards were reserved for ”Femmes de la Lumière”— women in lighting. These are women who, within their organization or company, have worked toward promoting innovation, modernizing the regulations, and conducting exemplary projects. The Awards were organized in partnership with the French Lighting Syndicate..

We will keep you posted on the dates of Lighting Days 2020!

Lighting Days and Lighting Syndicat Breathe Lighting Ambition

Lighting Syndicate puts the Light on Lighting Days 2019

As a Lighting Days partner, the French lighting syndicate is determined to make this exhibition a flagship event in the sector in France. It’s an ambition that can clearly be seen in the events planned for the coming 2019 edition. We talk with syndicate chairman, Julien Arnal.

Lighting Syndicate: Converging Point for Lighting Stakeholders

The French lighting syndicate is a converging point for all lighting market stakeholders, whatever their speciality. This trade confederation that works with everyone across the board involved in lighting is planning to go a lot further than just defending manufacturers’ interests.

Syndicat d’eclairage – Empowering the 2019 Lighting Days

As Julien Arnal, Syndicat Chair Holder confirms: “These days, the sector’s manufacturers are offering a mix of electrical and digital technologies against a backdrop of ecological change and economizing of resources. Smart lighting has enormous potential, and we take it on ourselves to assist members in their progress and innovation. We need to become educators and explain how urgent it is to modernize building interior and public lighting, two areas in which France remains a long way behind other countries. And it’s an expensive lag—if the whole country were to switch to LED, France could get by with two fewer nuclear reactors.”

Lighting Days 2019: A Sector Event aimed at Lighting Professionals

To create awareness among stakeholders and get them working together, to get them thinking, creating opportunities, the Syndicate sees the need for a yearly, structured event, involving the whole sector and meeting its expectations. “As soon as I took the chair at the Syndicate, I saw the strategic need to organize a big event that brought our issues into the open, showed our solutions, and was able to strike common ground among training bodies, research departments, and manufacturers, as well as project owners and contractors. It’s an event whose purpose is to unite everyone involved in the whole lighting industry value chain.”

The BePOSITIVE 2019 salon will run along with the Lighting Days 2019

As Lighting Days develops, another trade show taking place at the same time—BePositive, dedicated to the energy and digital transition in buildings—has taken note and convinced the Syndicate about the benefits of joining forces and making this gathering a go-to event in the sector. “All our members thought this was a great idea! We have therefore teamed up with Lighting Days, where those members who so desire will be welcomed to a village where we will be organizing conferences, encouraging feedback from the field, and conducting large-scale external communication with local authorities and other public bodies concerning the modernization of interior lighting. We don’t mean to miss a trick when it comes to making the most of the synergy with BePositive.”

Lighting Awards – “Femmes de la Lumière”

The French lighting syndicate and the exhibition organizer GL events will be presenting the Lighting Awards.
At this, the first edition, the awards will go to “Femmes de la Lumière”—women in lighting. These are women who, within their organization or company, have worked toward promoting innovation, modernizing regulations, and conducting projects. Would it be fair to say “putting the light on light”?
