Quotes:

Every presentation I went to had value, and the conversations throughout the event were fun, interesting and informative.

Mary Claire Frazier, IALD, LEED | Candela/USA

It was a pleasure to see one of Italy’s biggest lighting manufacturers at PLDC Berlin. Many years ago I tried to convince this manufacturer to join the lighting designers’ world, without success. What happened in Berlin, I did not believe was possible:
a) The strength of PLDC convinced this manufacturer to be present with a booth and congratulate the Lighting Designers’ Community for what has been achieved in the lighting world in the past years.
b) To quote the manufacturer’s CEO: “I have heard a lot about PLDC, which is why I decided to come personally to see it with my own eyes. Congratulations for what you have done for the lighting world! (This person is the current president of ASSIL).

Francesco Iannone, FPLDA | Consuline/I

PLDC is a superior event with excellent, very informative and educative presentations from top level professionals of the lighting branch from all over the world. It also provides a great opportunity to exchange thoughts and ideas between the lighting designers and the industry. XAL is pleased to be an active supporter of this event.

Dr. Christian Schraml | XAL/A

I would like to congratulate you on the perfect management and organization of PLDC! It was an unforgettable convention with many special events and a very high scientifi c level; both speakers and topics were extremely interesting and it was a challenge for us as participants to attend as many sessions as we could!

PLDC offers me a platform to see how my colleagues use light - what are the “pluses” they use, what are the “minuses” they have eliminated from their work. PLDC is a chance for me to seize upon new ideas.

Serena Tellini, PLDA | Consuline/I

Today the lighting industry is facing many new technological and ecological challenges that call for collaborative efforts between all professions involved in lighting projects. PLDC has become the inevitable rendezvous to further foster dialogue between the lighting design community and all other key stakeholders.
