SUMMARY:DVN Munich Working Sessions 2026
DESCRIPTION:Download event flyer\n\n\n\nADD TO YOUR AGENDA\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDVN Working SessionsMunich\, February 3\, 2026\n\n\n\nBefore the DVN Munich Workshop on February 4–5\, 2026\, participants have the opportunity to take part in working sessions organized on February 3rd (registration is required). \n\n\n\nROOM 1 — DEEP DIVE INTO AUTOMOTIVE LIGHTING SUSTAINABILITY STAKES \n\n\n\nWe are inviting the lighting community to an open forum to talk about External display on February 3rd\, in Munich\, just before the 2-day DVN lighting event (February 4 & 5) \n\n\n\nThis forum is open to everybody: Contracting parties\, NGOs\, universities\, OEMs\, lighting tier1 and tier2. \n\n\n\nAt DVN\, we fully understand the questions marks about the needs for external display in term of V2X communication for AD vehicles and we know that the technology is ready and already on vehicles in China. \n\n\n\nA lot of investigations have been done in Europe the last 5 years and it would be very beneficial to gather all the initiative and discuss with experts. \n\n\n\nROOM 2 — DEEP DIVE INTO EXTERNAL DISPLAY: STATUS ABOUT RESEARCH FROM INSTITUTE & INDUSTRY \n\n\n\nSustainability has become one of the most important pillar for European OEM\, and lighting has to follow the trend. \n\n\n\nThe goal of the workshop is to take time to gather the lighting community & sustainability specialist to see how to tackle this topic\, to see initiative\, and tackle what is currently missing. \n\n\n\nDVN will present during the main conference on the sustainability session a short summary about the discussion. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers presentations\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\nTo view the presentations\, you must be a workshop participant or a

SUMMARY:Lighting\, UX & Brand Conference | Haus of Automotive x DVN
DESCRIPTION:For more information\n\n\n\nADD TO YOUR AGENDA\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us for a full week of design excellence during the Milan Design Week 2026.\nKonzepthaus is excited to bring back Haus of Automotive to Milan Design Week\, uniting the automotive design industry under one roof.\nThis unique space will bridge diverse brands and foster collaboration\, creativity\, and innovation. Next to thrilling exhibitions by our partners\, the week will also feature two inspiring conferences on the topics of CMF\, UX & Brand\, and Lighting\, offering a platform for thought leaders to explore the future of design and mobility. \nThis year\, DVN is glad to collaborate with Konzepthaus to co-organise the Lighting conference. Lighting has become a big topic during the last year in our automotive lighting design world. Talking about automotive lighting in Milano\, mixing designers from different horizon (transportation\, architecture\, fashion) will bring interesting discussions and fresh ideas into our automotive lighting world. \nGlad to have Forvia Hella as sponsor for the conference. \nPANEL 1: Exterior Lighting as Brand Language: from Design Identity to Technological Enablers \nLighting has become one of the most recognizable elements of a vehicle’s identity. From distinctive daytime running lights to animated welcome sequences\, exterior lighting now plays a central role in defining how a brand is perceived on the road.This panel explores how lighting evolved into a powerful design signature. How do designers balance creativity with regulatory and engineering constraints? And how can brands maintain a clear visual identity as lighting possibilities continue to expand?Our panelists will discuss how design and technology intersect in modern lighting development and how exterior lighting is shaping the future language of automotive and mobility design. \nPANEL 2: Interior Lighting as Spatial and Emotional Design: Atmosphere\, Comfort and Perceived Quality \nAs vehicle interiors transform into multifunctional spaces\, lighting is becoming a key element in shaping how these environments are experienced. Beyond simple illumination\, interior lighting now influences atmosphere\, comfort\, and the perceived quality of a space.This panel examines the role of lighting in creating emotional and spatial experiences inside vehicles. How can designers use light to define zones\, enhance materials\, and support different moments of use from focused driving to relaxed travel? In what ways does lighting contribute to the feeling of a living space rather than a purely functional cockpit?We will explore how lighting helps turn mobility interiors into environments that feel intuitive\, comfortable\, and increasingly comparable to domestic spaces. \nPANEL 3: Lighting-driven UX: how Light Shapes Interaction\, Safety and User Perception \nLighting is no longer only about visibility or decoration. Increasingly\, it acts as an interface between the vehicle and its users\, communicating information\, guiding attention\, and supporting intuitive interaction.This panel focuses on the growing role of lighting within the user experience. How can light help users understand vehicle functions and systems without relying on traditional displays? What role does lighting play in communicating safety\, status\, or intent both inside and outside the vehicle? And how can designers ensure that lighting based interactions remain intuitive rather than overwhelming?Our panelists will discuss how lighting is evolving into a core component of mobility UX and how thoughtful design can transform light into a meaningful communication tool. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nAccess\n\n\n\nVenue: Talent House\, Milan
