Messe Frankfurt Acquires LiGHT Expo London

Messe Frankfurt has acquired the London lighting trade fair LiGHT Expo London from UK media company [d]arc media; its subsidiary Messe Frankfurt UK will organise and stage the show. Launched in 2022, the fair connects architects, interior and lighting designers, engineers and specialist consultants with international lighting manufacturers and brands. It now joins Messe Frankfurt's global light and building technology portfolio spanning Europe, Asia, North America, the Middle East and South America, under the Light + Building brand. Messe Frankfurt says the deal is part of its international growth strategy in Building Technologies, and that the fair's lighting-design focus and networking character will be retained while integration into its international event network opens new growth. [d]arc media stays involved, providing communications support and helping shape the talks and conference programme.
