LEDforum 2025, held from August 20 to 22 in São Paulo, marked the 16th edition of Latin America’s leading lighting design event.
Under the theme “The Meaning of Light”, the forum explored how light goes beyond its technical role to shape emotions, narratives, and experiences in architecture and design. The program brought together renowned international and Brazilian speakers for lectures, debates, and interactive sessions, while also showcasing the latest innovations from the lighting industry. More than just a trade show, LEDforum served as a platform for architects, designers, planners, and academics to exchange ideas, foster collaboration, and reflect on how light can transform the way we inhabit and experience spaces.
