Taking Sides

June 12th, 2013

About the Event

Join us for a fun and educational evening of lively, sometimes absurd debate between members of the New York City lighting design community. Enjoy a verbal joust, as the debaters take sides on some of the most pressing topics in the lighting industry, during a light-hearted evening of discussion mixed with humorous provocation and competition.

The topics have been chosen to provoke a dialog, so the opinions expressed by our panel may not be their personal stance, but will surely be interesting to hear.

Resolved: Energy codes are ruining lighting design
Resolved: Lighting degree programs are unnecessary because good lighting design is learned from experience
Resolved: It is necessary to have a lighting designer for every project that has an Architect and Electrical Engineer
Resolved: The more consolidation of the lighting industry the better
