- Exhibitor space has long been sold out. About 350 manufacturers will participate this year, compared to about 315 last year. Also, there was a waiting list of 30.
- The LEDucation contract with Hilton runs through 2018, so LEDucation will be in the same location next year.
- The Light it Up party begins at 7:00 p.m. Tuesday in the Trianon Ball Room.
