The CIE Centenary in Paris is not only a Midterm Session, with lots of conference & symposium sessions, workshops and technical meetings, but also a special opportunity to have informal discussions, to meet and make friends, to build and strengthen the constantly growing international network in the field of Light and Lighting.
Therefore, the French Committee has been organizing social events in the evenings, in order to safeguard moments to share besides the formal meetings and sessions.
The main event will be the Centenary Celebration Party. It is scheduled right after the conference and just before the technical meetings and the symposium, in order to allow most of those attending either or both to participate. It will be held in a unique place where we can all escape reality for one evening, to live the magic and the enchantment of a past century.
Other social events are being planned, and the program will be updated as soon as they are confirmed.

This exhibit showing up at Grand Palais is about Light and we strongly recommend you the visit.
« Notions of space, vision and light run through the abstract art of the 20th century and interest many world renowned contemporary artists such as Ann Veronica Janssens, Anish Kapoor, John Armleder, Carsten Höller, Philippe Decrauzat, Jeppe Hein, Felice Varini and Xavier Veilhan »
