(France) – The International Association of Lighting Designers (IALD) has opened registration for IALD Enlighten Europe 2026, a three‑day conference for architectural lighting professionals scheduled to take place from 17-19 June 2026 in Paris, France.

The event is intended for a range of industry professionals, including designers, architects, engineers, manufacturers, and suppliers. Developed by lighting designers, the conference aims to offer participants opportunities for in‑depth dialogue and networking in a format distinct from larger trade shows or broad industry exhibitions.

“Paris, the ‘City of Lights,’ provides the perfect setting for our professional community to gather, learn, and take inspiration,” said Christopher Knowlton, IALD Chief Executive Officer. “IALD Enlighten Europe 2026 will bring together the brightest minds in the industry for meaningful discussions that will shape the future of architectural lighting design.”

Sessions will be led by speakers from across the architectural lighting sector on topics that will address developments in lighting controls and systems integration, artificial intelligence, and emerging technologies, health and well‑being considerations, and sustainability.

Carla Wilkins, IALD, CLD, President of the IALD Board of Directors, noted that peer‑to‑peer learning remains a key element of the conference. “We learn at all stages from those with the most relevant guidance, regardless of hierarchical norms,” she said. “Whether someone is early in their career or an established professional, the event aims to provide new insight and support ongoing development in the field.”
