More than a year after the industry was hit by pandemic-related unprecedented business challenges LED Expo’s physical platform will play an instrumental role in uniting the LED value chain to create an atmosphere of collaboration. However, with the ongoing travel restrictions that are still in place globally, organisers have decided to introduce a multimodal format for the show this year to integrate in-person interactions and digital business matchmaking.

The new hybrid edition of LED will take place from November 18 – 20, 2021 at India Expo Mart in Greater Noida, Delhi-NCR, with all safety protocols. The hybrid model will enable companies across the globe to participate in the three-day fair and continue the much-needed business networking and learning, despite travel limitations. The move also aims to allow greater exposure to on-site exhibitors and attract participation from new and emerging markets.

Raj Manek, Executive Director and Board Member, Messe Frankfurt Asia Holdings Ltd said that the exhibitors on-site will, of course, have dual advantage and exposure as the digital model through its focus on ‘product showcases’ and ‘knowledge exchange’ creates a new avenue for business sourcing, networking and learning. He adds, “The idea is to make collaborative engagements extremely simple and bring the industry under ‘one roof’ for three days of pure business conversations. We are diligently working on all fronts to ensure a productive, safe and successful show experience for the industry.”
