About Lighting Agora
During the pandemic of 2020–2021, the Lighting Agora was founded by Tom Butters as a consortium of industry experts to provide the global lighting community with high level direction and support. In the spirit of the ancient Greek Agora, it is the meeting place where those with lighting challenges can be united with individuals with specific expertise in solving those challenges. Above all it, is a place where anyone in the lighting industry, whether starting out or in retirement, can “learn, earn and return”.
