BePOSITIVE and LIGHTING DAYS 2019 Review: A Resounding Success Event

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.
