The LIA Announces Sponsors for TECH-X 2026
Joining this year’s event are Legrand, Sales Layer, DALI Alliance, ECN, Helvar, CEF, and Tamlite Lighting, with Luceco sponsoring the drinks reception.
TECH-X was created to reflect sector-specific challenges and wider supply chain opportunities shaping lighting. While compliance and standards remain a fundamental part of the industry and a core focus within TECH-X, the event also reflects the expanding role lighting now plays in supporting sustainability, health and wellbeing, visual comfort, environmental responsibility and intelligent building integration.
The programme has been developed around conversations the industry is having, focusing on key themes such as standards, sustainability, connected lighting and lighting design. TECH-X brings together manufacturers, designers, consultants, engineers, contractors, wholesalers and policymakers to encourage meaningful discussion and active problem-solving.
The built sector is paying greater attention to the quality of light, independent living, responsible artificial light at night, and the long-term impact lighting has on people and place, meaning it's critical to deliver adaptable, user-focused environments.
Commenting on the support for the event, Dan Griffiths, Technical Operations Manager at The LIA said:
The support we have received from sponsors across the industry demonstrates the growing importance of the conversations taking place at TECH-X. Each sponsor represents a key part of the lighting and built environment ecosystem, and their involvement helps us create a platform that reflects the real challenges and opportunities facing the sector today. Collaboration across manufacturers, technology providers, designers and industry organisations is essential as lighting continues to evolve.
Neil McLean, Chair of The LIA’s Technical Management Group, and Chair of the Government and Public Affairs Committee added:
TECH-X is already firmly established as a must-attend event for the lighting industry, building on the strong legacy of its predecessor. Even in its current form, now in its second year, it continues to be an essential forum for anyone involved in or responsible for lighting technology, design and its regulation. The event reflects not only where the industry has come from, but crucially, where it is going. Its programme is deliberately shaped to drive informed, practical discussions around sustainability, connected technologies, lighting quality, and responsible application. More than just a conference, TECH-X is a key opportunity for the industry to come together, share expertise, and actively shape how lighting will continue to support people, buildings, and the wider environment.
As part of The LIA’s wider commitment to supporting the sector, TECH-X aims to provide the insight, collaboration and technical understanding needed to help the industry move forward with confidence in an increasingly complex landscape.
