NEW YORK CITY— Sponsorship opportunities are open for the 2024 LEDucation Trade Show and Conference.

The 2024 LEDucation Conference will kick off with interactive, virtual sessions March 14 and 15, followed by in-person seminars March 19–20. The in-person LEDucation Trade Show, also March 19–20 at the New York Hilton Midtown, will extend the exhibition hours on Tuesday, March 19 to 8:00 pm to accommodate attendee work schedules and traffic flow. A networking reception including food and beverage will be held on each of the exhibition floors between 6:00 pm and 8:00 pm.
