WHAT LAST YEARS ATTENDEES ARE SAYING
The conversations I had with product designers and controls engineers last year absolutely impacted my design decisions and specifications going forward. I expect nothing less from NYControlled. The larger venue and range of systems and components will undoubtedly improve the work I deliver for my clients.

Because NYControlled is focused specifically on architectural lighting controls, exhibitors send their experts. And because the show is a manageable size, attendees can spend the time needed for a deep dive, without worrying about missing out on something else. There’s plenty of time to see, learn, and have meaningful conversations with everyone I need to.

Lighting controls continue to evolve, racing toward building-integrated, direct-programmable, and AI-enabled systems. At the same time, energy and carbon codes tighten their requirements. NYControlled provides an intimate, focused venue to understand and explore the different approaches that manufacturers take to technology, and how we can rise to the challenges of coming years.
