Alan McIntosh
Co-Coordinator, Toronto Chapter – IALD

We’re here and honoured to be involved as an association partner to help bring credibility and a voice to the lighting design profession and help educate people on the importance of lighting design and having lighting designers involved with the project. It’s important for us to be involved as an association because we’re able to come and meet and connect with a number of industry friends and colleagues, as well as have the ability to continue our conversation and our education in our industry. The last few days have been amazing. The turnout has been fabulous. A lot of interesting conversations, a lot of interesting people, a lot of great topics and panel discussions have been happening. It’s an honour to be included and involved with a great show.
