A magical evening on the Seine awaits!

Our partner Selux will be hosting the Pre-Opening Event for IALD Enlighten Europe 2026 on 17 June in Paris.

Join fellow attendees for an evening river boat cruise along the Seine, taking in the City of Light as Paris begins to glow in the soft light of dusk. There is no better way to open two days of inspiration, connection, and ideas than from the water, with the city as your backdrop.

Thank you, Selux, for making this unforgettable evening possible!

Ian Ritchie of ritchie*studio is our keynote speaker for IALD Enlighten Europe 2026.

Ian will take the stage with his presentation LIGHT: Stillness and Movement, and we could not think of a more fitting voice to open our gathering in Paris.

Ian's approach to light dissolves the boundaries between science, art and engineering, philosophy and technology. He explores both natural and artificial light as the first material of architecture, shaping and animating form, space, material and experience.

This is a keynote that promises to be as thought-provoking as it is beautiful.
