With LightFair skipping New York in 2011 because of construction at the Jacob Javits Convention Center and moving about 100 miles south down I-95 to the City of Brotherly Love, Stan Deutsch Associates (SDA), Long Island City, N.Y., thought it would be a great time to get the Big Apple's lighting industry together.
