Light + Building 2026 is a major trade fair focused on lighting, electrical engineering, and building technology, drawing more than 10,000 attendees to Frankfurt am Main each cycle. The event runs March 8 through March 13 and brings together manufacturers, architects, planners, and buyers from across the construction and building technology space. The floor is dense with product launches and specification conversations, making it a working show rather than a networking-first event. Companies show up here to get in front of buyers and decision-makers who are actively sourcing, which keeps the energy commercial throughout the week. For suppliers, distributors, and growth-focused teams in construction and building technology looking to build pipeline and close ground with new accounts, this one is worth serious consideration.
