William Attardi on March 31, 2026

The LEDucation Trade Show and Conference for 2027 has moved its dates from April 6 and 7 to April 13, 14, and 15. The event will still be held at the New York Hilton Midtown, but will expand from a two-day event to a three-day event. Light + Intelligent Building (previously known as Lightfair) is scheduled for Las Vegas March 16, 17, and 18 in 2027. Since many of the exhibitors and attendees want to be at both events, it can create some issues. LEDucation will remain a yearly event in New York City, which Light + Intelligent Building is every other year, and will move to Philadelphia in 2029. LEDucation Changes 2027 Event Dates

Here’s a little-known fact about the MLB World Series

First, let me congratulate the Milwaukee Brewers on their first World Series Championship. Well played the entire 2026 season, 103 wins was the best.… My new team in the NL!

The 1903 World Series was the first modern World Series, and the Boston Americans (now the Red Sox) defeated the Pittsburgh Pirates 5 games to 3. Do you believe it………….a team from Boston actually won the first World Series…….  The surprising twist: The World Series wasn’t played at all in 1904! The NY Giants refused to participate because their owner, John T. Brush, considered the championship unnecessary. The Series returned in 1905, when those NY Giants won. So, baseball’s biggest annual event actually skipped its second year! The team from Boston (Americans, then Red Sox) have a World Series record of 9 wins and 4 losses in championship appearances, for a 69.2% championship success rate. Their nine championships came in 1903, 1912, 1915, 1916, 1918, 2004, 2007, 2013 and 2018. Sad fact: The team from Bean Town waited 86 years between championships, from 1918 until its dramatic victory in 2004 over the St. Louis Cardinals (4-0), when the Red Sox ended the famous Curse of the Bambino……just sayin!
