The International Association of Lighting Designers (IALD) recently announced that its Enlighten Americas 2020 event will be held online for the first time on October 21 and 22. Its Enlighten Europe 2020 event will also be held virtually on November 18 and 19.

Created by and for architectural lighting designers, the virtual events are designed to bring together experts in lighting, educational panels, virtual exhibit rooms, breakout discussion, social hours, and more.

“This year, IALD will be offering something very different from our previous in-person Enlighten events. The online space has given us the opportunity to bring the international lighting community together in a more inclusive way than ever before. We can now offer the opportunity for any lighting professional to attend Enlightens 2020 Online who may have not been able to travel to attend the in-person events,” says IALD CEO, Marsha L. Turner, CAE. “We look forward to creating a unique online experience that inspires and fosters the international and personal connections that IALD is known for.”

More information will be available when registration opens later this month. To learn more, read the original IALD announcement.
