IES Seattle Section 2026 Annual Sponsorship

On behalf of IES Seattle we are working tirelessly to organize and plan our 2025 year of events. We have moved to an annual sponsorship plan and are looking for a one time yearly donation to support our program year.

As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, IES events have always been funded with donations and we would not be able to do it without financial support from our local community. Our events not only help raise funds for our scholarship funds, but it’s also an opportunity to come together as a lighting community.  Thank you so much for your support of the IES Seattle Section. It would not be possible without you!

The 2026 programming schedule is tentatively stated below. Through strategic partnerships with fellow Seattle IALD & Seattle WILD (Women in Lighting + Design) organizations and community feedback, we are combining resources to allow for less competing events and more opportunities for joint community engagement within the industry.

This year, we’ve added a few new things. Stay tuned for more information. 

 

 

To ensure that all print advertising, events, socials, website, and scholarship communications reflect the correct information and allow us time to plan events, we request that
 all payments be made by end of January. 
Any payments made after that date cannot be guaranteed to get the full sponsorship benefits listed above.

The 2026 programming schedule is tentatively stated below.
