PLDC Conference, Madrid

Next week a contingent of three of our team from Electrolight will leave these shores to participate in the Professional Lighting Design Conference in Madrid.

PLDC is a biennial three-day conference built around four tracks offering around 65 papers from internationally renowned speakers and upcoming young professionals.  It is an honour to be invited to speak at such a prestigious event, a chance to share ideas, research and learnings with fellow professionals from around the world.  I attended the previous PLDC in Berlin and it was really fabulous.

From our studio, Rachel Burke will present a paper entitled ‘A Healthy Light’ an exploration of contemporary thinking and research in the field of innovative design and health with an emphasis on lighting design.

I will be giving a paper discussing the ins and outs of establishing a successful lighting design practice.

And just for good measure, our superstar international guest designer Christopher Knowlton has made a self-running poster about the use of interactive lighting controls within the office environment, evaluating user satisfaction & energy consumption.
