ArchLIGHT Summit

BIM is transforming how architects, lighting designers, and manufacturers collaborate and manage projects. This session will explore how digital practice management helps firms streamline workflows, improve coordination, and maintain strong BIM standards. Attendees will learn how to develop efficient BIM templates, train teams effectively, and integrate BIM into their lighting and architectural workflows. Through real-world examples, we’ll show how structured BIM implementation can reduce inefficiencies, enhance teamwork, and improve project outcomes.

Join us for an immersive exploration into the cutting-edge realm of digital visualization tools, where we'll uncover the transformative potential of virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR) for lighting professionals. In this dynamic open panel discussion, industry experts will share insights, strategies, and real-world examples to inspire and empower designers at all skill levels.

Whether you're just dipping your toes into the world of digital visualization or you're a seasoned expert looking to stay ahead of the curve, this interactive session promises to equip you with the knowledge, inspiration, and practical insights needed to harness the full potential of VR, AR, and MR in your lighting design practice.

Don't miss this opportunity to join the conversation, connect with fellow designers, and chart a course towards innovative and impactful design solutions in the digital age.

Having over 40 years of design experience, I was blessed by being mentored by some of the early lighting designer's who openly shared their design principles with me. Working directly under Raymond Grenald and volunteering with names like Leslie Wheel, Howard Brandston, Nancy Clanton, Naomi Miller, Randy Burkett and other luminaires, the speaker will share their tips of the trade. For example, decades before the WELL recommendation of lighting the walls, Ray Grenald would stress the importance of vertical illumination of architectural planes. Likewise, Leslie Wheel would toss out lighting awards is a single scallop occurred on a dropped soffit.

The speaker will reach out to other IALD and IES Fellows to ensure a variety of lighting design tidbits.
