Following its spectacular debut in 2024 that brought tremendous momentum to the industry, Light + Intelligent Building Istanbul is preparing to push boundaries in 2026. The mandatory one-year hiatus in 2025, necessitated by an official event at the venue, has solidified the organization's goal to reunite the industry with a much stronger, dynamic, and enriched exhibition.
Organized in collaboration with the Lighting Equipment Manufacturers Association (AGİD), the fair will take place from November 26-28, 2026. It will not merely showcase lighting and building automation technologies but will serve as a global visionary stage shaping the future of sustainability and smart cities. Having hosted 6,652 professionals from 61 countries and 110 exhibitors from 7 countries in its inaugural year, the 2026 edition is elevating both the exhibitor and visitor experience to an entirely new level.
A Technology and Design Platform Beyond Borders
In an era where the pace of innovation is constantly accelerating and energy efficiency has become a global priority, Light + Intelligent Building Istanbul 2026 will bring together the latest technologies under one roof—from decorative lighting and smart home automation to street lighting and emergency solutions. After a brief pause, the event will be the ultimate stage for the most ambitious product launches and technological showcases, offering unmatched international networking opportunities for architects, engineers, designers, and public institution representatives.
Enriched Content and Global Collaborations
This ambitious return will be highlighted not only by the physical growth of the exhibition but also by the richness of its content. Supported by international buyer delegations, targeted B2B matchmaking programs, and strategic global media partnerships, the fair will create new market opportunities for industry professionals. Concurrent conferences, inspiring presentations, and the traditional "Trend Talk" sessions will feature industry experts discussing the latest developments in lighting and building automation. Special interactive exhibition areas, offering the chance to experience the possibilities of smart living firsthand, will also be among the main attractions.
Driven by the vision of "designing not just an exhibition, but a hub where we celebrate the flawless integration of technology and light with architecture," the event has already secured its place at the top of the 2026 agenda for international buyers and industry leaders.
The countdown has begun for a smarter, more sustainable, and infinitely brighter future.
