Perspectives on places
Placemaking with light.
We warmly invite you to our annual Day of Light summit on September 17, 2026. Join us for inspiring keynotes, engaging panel discussions, and hands-on workshops, and exchange ideas with leading experts from science, design, and industry.
In the spirit of a think-tank, we bring together interdisciplinary impulses to create new perspectives on how light can shape spaces, define atmospheres, and make places truly unique. Together, we will explore current topics and trends in urban planning and discuss how to create places that leave a lasting impression—places where light tells stories that can be felt even before they are fully understood.
What makes a good place in an urban area?
How can we enhance the amenity value through details of a space?
Conference by day, celebration at night
Workshops, presentations and panel discussions foster learning and state of the art expertise. In the evening, we're getting together to network and celebrate.
How can we treat cities and nature as one?
We’re excited to announce the first speakers
