Our History

Inspired by the European Quadriannel Showlight, the conference was established to create a Scandinavian meeting place for professionals in the field of lighting design. The first Scandlight conference was held in Malmö in 2006, initiated by Lars Garpenfeldt and his company Scesam, who were the driving force behind the event.

Scandlight is primarily organized by the Association of Swedish Lighting Designers (SLF) in collaboration with OISTAT Lighting Design Sub-Commission.

The conference welcomes lighting designers, engineers, educators, teachers, and students—primarily from Scandinavia, while also attracting participants from other parts of the world who share an interest in light as an art form.
