Make the first move.
We’re levelling the playing field and changing the dynamics of the design industry. We believe networking shouldn’t feel so hard or, worse, uncomfortable. We’re providing the opportunity for you to ask those pressing questions to the people you admire in your industry.  What path did they take to get where they are today?  How do they balance their personal lives and career?  

We all need that push to figure out where our career paths should go.  Who better to push you, than those who have gone before you?

Make your first move.  Join us for an evening of 'speed dating' and tap into the knowledge of your mentors. (Limited spots available).

LightForm launches a new IDCEC-accredited workshop series developed by Sebastien Panouille, Lighting Consultant & Educator with ThinkL Studio.

One of the biggest mistakes we see happen all the time is when light fixtures are selected without understanding how the lights themselves will function within the space.

Light Labs, a series of workshops hosted by LightForm and developed by Sebastien Panouille, Lighting Consultant & Educator with ThinkL Studio, enlightens designers and architects on how to work with light to illuminate their design vision successfully.

Each workshop is accredited by IDCEC for 1.5 to 2.5 CEU units.
