LDI2017 Award Winners Announced

The LDI2017 Awards for Best Booth Design and Best Debuting Products Of The Year were presented in an awards ceremony at 6:00 pm on Saturday, November 18 on the AG Productions' megastructure stage at LDI: Live Outside at the Las Vegas Convention Center.

This year, LDI surpassed 16,000 in registration, a new record for the show. Next year's LDI will be October 15-21, 2018 at LVCC for the 30th anniversary of LDI. The very first LDI was held in Dallas Texas in 1988, and there will be a yearlong celebration of that first event.

The fourth annual Paky Award, sponsored by A.C.T Lighting and presented to someone who has made an impact in the lighting technology industry, was postponed this year. In light of the sudden, untimely passing of Barbizon's president Jonathan Resnick two months ago, Ben Saltzman of A.C.T Lighting decided to forgo the Paky Award this year and honor friend and colleague Jonathan.
