The June 24-27, 2026, edition of Lightovation at Dallas Market Center will again feature its popular Design + Build Day, previewing the largest residential lighting show in the Western Hemisphere and providing programming for trade professionals on Tuesday, June 23.


The upcoming Design + Build Day continues momentum from the January 2026 Lightovation show, where top editors from INTERIOR DESIGN and METROPOLIS magazines gave keynotes, led tours and networked with cross-disciplinary attendees at hospitality events.


Lightovation offers 1 million square feet of permanent showroom exhibits encompassing all categories of interior and exterior lighting for homes and hospitality environments. It takes place each January and June. Dallas Market Center is also the busiest open-daily design center in the county, with a full-time Lighting Concierge to provide access to Lightovation exhibits on a project basis beyond show dates.


Lighting professionals who have never attended Lightovation before may qualify for two complimentary hotel nights, and locals can request VIP parking. To learn more about these opportunities or to expedite new attendee registration, fill out this form: https://bit.ly/0326_LDA_LOV_2_1


Lightovation’s official hotel blocks have accommodations to suit all preferences and budgets. Some are even within walking distance of Dallas Market Center. The city’s central location and two convenient airports enable easy travel from anywhere.


Dallas Market Center will also host its sixth annual ArchLIGHT Summit commercial lighting expo and CEU platform, September 15-16. This event will overlap other co-located events, including the DALI Alliance North America Summit, Dallas Design Week and the American Society of Interior Designers GATHER: Catalyst national conference. Registration for ArchLIGHT Summit opens spring 2026.
