Partners

The Professional Lighting Design Convention brings together professionals from all around the world to network and discuss the latest developments and trends in the lighting world. Even the most experienced of lighting professionals can deepen their knowledge of specific topics, expand their design skills and improve their professional practice by attending the series of outstanding papers and gaining new perspectives from research results and case study accounts.

Partners of PLDC are professional associations from the field of light and lighting, universities that run Lighting Design programmes and degree courses for related disciplines, and established online or print media publications that support the event and its target of establishing architectural lighting design as a profession.
