One year to go - join the countdown
The fourth Professional Lighting Design Convention will be held in Copenhagen, Denmark from 31. October to 2. November, 2013, following in the footsteps of PLDC 2007 in London, UK, PLDC 2009 in Berlin, Germany and PLDC 2011 in Madrid, Spain.

Already the organisers can monitor an increased interest in the event and related activities. Compared with the same point in time two years ago, the organisers have recorded a rise in traffic on the PLDC website of 70%!

PLDC 2013 will offer more activities, more opportunities for learning, exchange and discussion, and expects to attract more attendees from the global lighting world.

Based on the successful proven concept, PLDC will again be built around a three-day professional conference offering approximately 70 presentations given by high-profile speakers. A manufacturers’ exhibition of high-quality partners from industry will be accompanying the event – the exhibition hall also offers space for activity areas and interactive sessions, inviting all attendees to play an even more active role in the Professional Lighting Design Community
