August 13, 2025
Connect, Innovate & Illuminate: Canada Light Expo 2025 Showcasing Dynamic Lighting Solutions
Canada Light Expo is set to return on 12–13 November 2025 at the International Centre, Toronto, reaffirming its position as the premier dedicated platform for Canada’s lighting industry. The event arrives with renewed momentum, shining a spotlight on Canadian innovation while creating vital pathways for global collaboration. At a time when lighting plays a crucial role in smart infrastructure, sustainability, and human-centric design, the Expo addresses the growing need for a focused, national event tailored to Canada’s regulatory environment, regional climate needs, and design standards.
This platform arrives not just as a product showcase, but as a space to build networks, explore cutting-edge technology, and discuss the future of lighting from both technical, architectural and cultural perspectives. With the country’s lighting industry evolving rapidly, Canada Light Expo serves as a much-needed convergence point where specifiers, manufacturers, designers, and policy influencers meet to shape the next chapter of lighting in Canada.
Partners, Sponsors, Exhibitors & Advisory Board of Distinguished Professionals
Bringing weight to the 2025 edition are its official agency partners—Salex, Omnilumen and TPL Lighting—each respected for their longstanding contributions and presence in the Canadian market. Their involvement reflects a deep-rooted understanding of local needs and reinforces the Expo’s industry relevance. Supporting this vision are two of the sector’s most recognised names: Axis Lighting and Cree Lighting Canada, joining as Silver Sponsors. Together, these organisations anchor the Expo with credibility, technical depth, and regional reach.
Some of the brands exhibiting at the show include MP Lighting, Omnifynow, Metalumen, Cree Lighting Canada, Axis Lighting, DBM Reflective, Artika Lighting, Acclaim Lighting, Liteline, Novapole, Lumenwarm, TMS Lighting, JW LED, and many more.
At the heart of the show lies a strong advisory board made up of distinguished professionals who are actively shaping the Expo’s direction and content. This year’s board includes Alana Punit of Salex, Carl Huestis of Axis Lighting, Dawn Brown of OALD, Dan Hadash of lightSPACE, Dayna Bradley of Bradley Consulting, Deborah Gottesman of Gottesman Associates, Eric Teacher of STL Lighting Group, Martha MacEachen of Dubo Électrique, Michael Jennison of Omnilumen Technical Products, Shirley Coyle of CREE Lighting, Paul Boken of Sourcery, Cindy Foster-Warthen and Tom Butters of The Lighting Agora. Their collective insights ensure the show is thoughtfully curated, inclusive, and deeply aligned with the evolving priorities of lighting professionals across Canada.
Canada Light Talks
One of the most anticipated highlights of the show is Canada Light Talks, the Expo’s robust knowledge-sharing series that runs alongside the exhibition floor curated by Lighting Agora. More than a technical forum, these sessions explore the broader human, cultural, and future-facing aspects of lighting. From emerging trends in architectural lighting to conversations on intelligent design systems, Canada Light Talks brings together visionary thinkers and hands-on innovators. The programming is designed to spark dialogue, challenge conventional ideas, and foster community. Adding to its depth are dedicated networking formats, including a networking luncheon and evening reception that encourage cross-disciplinary collaboration and relationship building.
Further enriching the show’s offering is a focus on providing industry insights to students of architecture, interior design, engineering, urban planning, and sustainable product design, through curated tours, interactive workshops, and educational engagement with top professionals. It’s a rare opportunity for emerging talent to gain hands-on exposure, present ideas, and establish relationships that could shape their future careers. Delegates also earn CEU credits from Sara National, a nonprofit advancing STEM education and youth leadership.
Canada Light Expo 2025 is proud to be supported by several leading industry associations, including the International Association of Lighting Designers (IALD), the Association of Registered Interior Designers of Ontario (ARIDO), Women in Lighting + Design (WILD), and Women in Lighting (WiL). Their involvement reinforces the Expo’s commitment to diversity, professional development, and raising the standards of excellence across Canada’s lighting community. In addition to media partners extending their support to the show.
With the strength of industry-leading agencies, prominent sponsors, an experienced advisory board, and a content-rich program designed to inspire and inform, Canada Light Expo 2025 is not just a show—it’s the national pulse of the lighting industry. It’s where Canada connects, creates, and leads the global conversation on light.
