It is no secret that LIGHTFAIR is your humble editor’s favorite time of year. We get to see the latest products on the market (and some that will never make it to the market) as well as visit old friends and make new ones. In addition, we have the opportunity to personally thank our sources for sending us the information that makes the EdisonReport successful.
All indications tell us that this will be the best, most important, and productive LIGHTFAIR ever.
On-camera executive interviews will occur each day at the LIGHTFAIR Media Center at “The New Crystal Palace” section of the remodeled Jacob Javits Center. We have confirmed interviews throughout the show with: Jim Benya, Menko de Roos, Paul Tarricone, Steve Brown, and Sabu Krishnan. Interviews will be conducted during the day and our media team will edit and publish late each evening. Like many of you, we will work 18-hour days. Here are our plans so far:
