The fair’s organiser announced new dates for the Guangzhou International Lighting Exhibition (GILE), in a commitment to the industry to create business opportunities within the current season. GILE is known as an influential and innovative design and technology marketplace, which fosters business and provides networking and education opportunities while helping to ensure a sustainable future for the industry. The fair will move from its original June date to September 30 – October 3, and will take place alongside Guangzhou Electrical Building Technology at the China Import and Export Fair Complex, Guangzhou.
Commenting on the new show date, Lucia Wong, deputy general manager of Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd explained: “This year GILE celebrates its 25th anniversary, and over this quarter-century the fair has become an integral part of the lighting sector. While the industry is going through a uniquely challenging time, we believe that it is important to ensure the fair still goes ahead this year to support all our stakeholders and provide a chance for the industry to rebound. This is also what the sector has been feeding back to us, therefore the two fairs will move to the end of September, and we will be doing all we can to provide opportunities for the industry to move forward.”
The 2020 show theme is ‘Thinklight: Empower the next’, which will be demonstrated through a diversified exhibitor profile and a number of new events such as Smart lighting and UV technology showcase, the 8th Alighting Award Ceremony, industry report and white paper presentation, business matching sessions and round-table meetings.
