PLDC 2017 will comprise the next chapter in a history of successful conventions.
The motto of the 6th PLDC will be “Shift happens!” – pointing to the dramatic changes on the lighting design landscape, the impact of digital technologies and the processes the design community will have to undergo to adjust to changing conditions.

Lighting programmes in towns and cities in future will be addressing issues such as atmosphere and energy savings to the same extent.
