April 16, 2012 – EBMag’s associate editor Alyssa Dalton hit the jackpot this year – by receiving an exclusive invitation to attend Light+Building 2012… in Frankfurt, Germany! Arguably one of the world’s largest and most influential lighting and building-services technology shows, this year’s fair boasts of over 2,000 exhibitors and some 183,000 visitors. Wow!

Alyssa is currently there reporting LIVE from the showfloor, so be sure to follow @EBMag or www.twitter.com/EBMag for tweets in realtime. Many thanks to event organizers for the invitation and hospitality.
