The 2019 Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS), the destination for kitchen and bath design professionals, announces the debut of a new show feature, Lightovation Lounge, an “illuminating” area locating in the tented Salon by KBIS when the show heads to the Las Vegas Convention Center, February 19 – 21, 2019.
Lightovation Lounge features two days of lighting–focused programming by nationally-recognized lighting designer Randall Whitehead, IALD, aka “The Lighting Doctor,” and Joe Rey–Barreau, AIA, longtime director of Education for American Lighting Association and professor at the University of Kentucky, aka “The Lighting Professor.” In addition to leading 20–minute educational sessions on a range of timely lighting topics, the “Doctor” and the “Professor” also will host office hours to meet individually with attendees to answer their lighting questions one–on-one.
“We are excited to bring our Lightovation Lounge to the new Salon by KBIS section. The right lighting is so critical to every project,” said Laura Van Zeyl, vice president of lighting technology development and marketing, Dallas Market Center. “We hope our experts can help KBIS attendees understand their options to ensure the best results.”
Lightovation Lounge also brings Dallas Market Center’s Lightovation event to KBIS via a virtual reality experience that transports attendees to the largest residential lighting show in North America. The Lounge is presented in partnership by Dallas Market Center, the American Lighting Association and Furniture Lighting & Decor magazine. Educational programming is sponsored by Hinkley Lighting.
Hinkley is one of a number of new lighting exhibitors showing in the area surrounding the Lightovation Lounge, including Lamps Plus.
“We are thrilled to be a part of KBIS 2019. Exhibiting alongside the Lightovation Lounge will provide a cohesive and exciting decorative lighting experience for our guests,” said Quinn Sack, visual merchandising manager, Hinkley Lighting.
