LIGHTING LAUNCH 2026- ADVANCED TRAINING, February 26-28

Lighting Launch 2026
Theme: Upselling & Hiring

February 26–28, 2026 | Charlotte (Concord), NC

Don’t miss CLC’s most powerful in-person training event of the year.

Lighting Launch is CLC’s annual advanced training conference, built specifically for seasoned installers ready to scale — not beginners looking for basics.

This is not a trade show.
This is not surface-level training.
This is where real growth happens.

We are dedicating a full day to hands-on Permanent Lighting training — you do not want to miss this.

Thursday: Hands-on Permanent Lighting
Friday & Saturday: Advanced Training focused on Upselling & Hiring

Why Lighting Launch Is Different

Lighting Launch is intentionally designed to create connection.

• ✔ In-person, immersive training
• ✔ Hands-on practical application
• ✔ Built-in meals and shared experiences
• ✔ Time to network, collaborate, and relax together
• ✔ Real conversations — not rushed hallway chats

The bonds formed here last long after the event ends.
