What is Bright?

Two communities. One connected workforce.

You’ve probably heard: Beekeeper and LumApps have joined forces. Together, we’re combining our strengths in frontline enablement and employee experience to deliver even greater impact for your workforce.
‍
To celebrate, Bright Conference 2026 will be the first joint event bringing our communities together. These conferences are designed to equip leaders across IT, HR, Communications, and Operations with the tools, insights, and connections to transform the way employees—frontline and office-based—work, connect, and thrive.
