It's the best opportunity in the world to meet people that work with light in the same place at the same time! I expect to get a very broad view. People from all over the world, people with different interests and different topics and different specialities and I hope to learn some things I don't know!



Neide Senzi/BR
In my case I have been working with lighting design in a country too far away from where everything really happens in terms of technology and culture, so I have to say that this event is a great opportunity to keep in contact with state of the art of my business, as well the chance to improve my knowledge and to be up to date with new ideas, concepts and even exchange experience with professionals from around the world. That was exactly what happened in PLDC London and I am so sure that this next event will be much more productive and overwhelmed, that is the reason for flying 10.000 km to be present.


Victor Palacio/MEX
My congratulations on the advanced success of the event. PLDC 2007 was an event full of energy, the passion for light was present everywhere! Beyond the numerical facts, it was quite an occasion to get in direct touch with people working in lighting from all around the world and involving many disciplines. Groups of people sharing information and experiences included students, architects, technical specialists, academics and many of the big names in lighting design, all around a common interest: lighting. I believe that the enthusiastic participation in London's PLDC will be surpassed in the second edition in Berlin now that more people are getting involved globally in lighting design.
Looking forward to seeing you there!


New: Pre convention meetings confirmed

The official opening of PLDC 2009 is on the evening of Wednesday,
28. October. During the daytime a number of pre-convention meetings will be held. Wednesday, 28. October also sees the first City Planners Forum, an informative, interactive event dedicated to urban planners and decision-makers at local government level.
The City Planners Forum is an official LUCI calendar event.
We will therefore be welcoming representatives from the LUCI organisation as well as other urban planners from around the world!

PLDC 2009 due to surpass premiere event

All preparations for the second international Professional Lighting Design Convention from 28. to 31. October, 2009 in Berlin are going according to plan. The organisers are more than satisfied with the results and response to date, and are already predicting that the number of attendees will surpass the 1100 who registered for PLDC in London.

What does PLDC offer?

A three-day conference programme with around 70 speakers with high-profile papers, selected anonymously and democratically by an independent jury. A Call for Papers was issued in mid-2008, the selected programme is available now at www.pld-c.com.
PLDC 2007 has set a milestone in the process to establish Lighting Design as a profession and stands for everything that has been achieved for the profession so far, in as much as it is an indicator of future challenges. The dynamic development of the profession gives rise to a multitude of exceptional projects and research. PLDC will be the definitive platform for professional findings on an international level.
