IES CHICAGO

Advancing the Art and Science of Illumination

The Chicago Section of the Illuminating Engineering Society (IES) brings together the people, ideas, and expertise that shape the lighting industry throughout the greater Chicago area.

As part of a global community of lighting professionals, we are committed to advancing lighting knowledge, providing educational opportunities, encouraging innovation, and fostering meaningful connections among designers, engineers, architects, manufacturers, representatives, students, and other industry professionals.

OUR MISSION

The IES seeks to improve the lighted environment by bringing together those with lighting knowledge and by translating that knowledge into actions that benefit the public.

OUR COMMUNITY

Chicago is home to one of the nation's most celebrated skylines, a testament to the city's rich design heritage, innovation, and architectural excellence. Lighting plays an essential role in bringing this remarkable built environment to life, shaping the city's visual identity and enhancing the experiences of those who live, work, and visit here.

Through educational programs, technical presentations, scholarships, networking events, and industry partnerships, IES Chicago supports professional growth at every stage of a lighting career.

SUPPORTING THE FUTURE OF LIGHTING

Our work is made possible through the generosity and involvement of our members, sponsors, and industry partners. Their continued support helps us recognize emerging talent, foster professional connections, and create opportunities that strengthen Chicago's lighting industry.

Together, we're advancing lighting knowledge, inspiring innovation, and building a stronger, more connected Chicago lighting community.
