The International Association of Lighting Designers' (IALD) call for presenters for both Enlighten Europe 2023 in June in Berlin, Germany and Enlighten Americas 2023 in November in Banff, AB, is now open. IALD is seeking energetic and engaging speakers to lead impactful learning experiences.

Enlighten Conferences are a series of boutique educational and networking events, created exclusively by and for lighting design professionals. They serve as opportunities for the lighting community to come together to learn, share ideas and explore solutions with likeminded people who are passionate about light.

Both Enlighten conferences span multiple lighting-related topics, featuring courses in art (communicating design),technology and science (shaping the future) and professional tools (the business and operational side). IALD is looking for sessions of varying length, including hands-on workshops. Based on feedback from recent conference attendees, areas of particular interest include (but are not limited to) sustainable and responsible lighting, as well as business management (Insurance, marketing, hiring, succession, etc.)

Speakers will be compensated for their time, depending on the number of speakers. A one-person seminar speaker will receive $1,000 USD/€1,000 (Europe), while two or more speakers in a single seminar will each receive $500 USD/€500 (Europe).

The deadline for proposals is Jan. 11, 2023. Proposals will be accepted online only. To begin your proposal, click here.
