(Canada) – The IALD has opened registration for its Enlighten Americas conference, taking place in Banff, in the heart of the Canadian Rockies on 2-4 November.

Lighting professionals from around the world are invited to the Fairmont Banff Springs resort in the province of Alberta to participate in a schedule of events developed to educate, inspire, innovate, and celebrate the IALD community.

A popular event across the lighting sphere, the Enlighten agenda includes dozens of speaking sessions from architectural lighting leaders, roundtable and panel discussions that forge and advance communication between specifiers and manufacturers, social receptions, and activities that allow the lighting design community to be encouraged and exhilarated by their collective accolades and awards. Networking opportunities are integrated into the three-day schedule to bolster the interaction and collaboration that the IALD global community exemplifies.

IALD CEO Christopher Knowlton is excited for the coming event. He said: “The industry has every reason to celebrate its accomplishments in 2023: from those emerging designers making a bold name for themselves; to the designers and firms earning international praise. The Enlighten conferences are a unique convergence of achievement and advancement; we celebrate how far we have come just as we eagerly look to where we can progress.

“At this picturesque castle set in the Rocky Mountains, our global community can breathe deeply, feel revitalised by both the grandeur of nature and the positivity of our peers, open our eyes to new ideas and artistry, and actively pursue even greater things in the year to come.”

All interested parties can learn more about the IALD Enlighten Americas conference, its schedule of events, its roster of speakers and sponsors, online here. Early Bird registration pricing will remain available until 16 June, and conference registration will remain open until the event in November.
