"PLDC – it is amazing what four letters are capable of expressing. PLDC stands for the latest know-how and findings in the field of Lighting Design, for political discussions on and around the process to establish the profession, and the developments along the way. It also stands for the exchange of news and views among colleagues and friends from the global network that makes up the lighting design community worldwide. The special quality of PLDC is that it has become an acknowledged platform for communication between lighting designers, manufacturers, clients and architects that really works. PLDC 2013 in Copenhagen will follow this tradition and make a further step towards our acclaimed goals."

"As a member of the PLDC Steering Committee from the start, I am honoured and thrilled to see that PLDC has become a fixed date in the lighting community’s diary. The lighting industry and lighting designers from around the world acknowledge the PLDC event as a crucial platform for learning and exchanging views. The realisation of the need for dedicated education programmes, continuing professional development, and enhanced and more opportunities to learn will add a layer of open and creative minds from the world of academic education and research. A further Educators’ Knowledge Transfer Session is planned plus other pre-convention meetings for educators, trainers and researchers. "
