Comments on PLDC 2013
I’m lucky to attend several industry events throughout the year and whether speaking or not, PLDC is without doubt my favourite. The variety and quality of the presentations, coupled with the friendliness and support of the industry makes for a brilliant experience.

PLDC is one of the premier lighting events globally that brings together manufacturers, planners and designers to share their experience and passion for lighting solutions. It was a great forum within which to share the work of BIG.
