IALD’s Lighting Industry Resource Council (LIRC) is once again creating continuing education opportunities for up-and-coming lighting designers. The Emerging Designer Initiative is built upon highly valued support from sponsors; the sponsorship fee of $850 USD per designer covers the IALD Enlighten Americas Conference Registration, and provides a travel stipend. Fast approaching, the IALD Conference will be in beautiful Banff, Alberta, Canada on November 2-4, 2023.
There is still time for sponsors to sign up, with benefits including on-site signage at the IALD Conference, recognition on the IALD website, and access to an exclusive, invitation-only LIRC Emerging Lighting Designer Initiative Networking reception at the conference.
Sponsors who have already stepped up so far to support the 2023 initiative include:
Acuity Brands: sponsoring 11 designers
LMPG: sponsoring 6 designers
DELTALIGHT: sponsoring 2 designers
FINELITE: sponsoring 2 designers
Inter-Lux: sponsoring 1 designer
