In order to engage with members, offer new learning experiences and maintain online the much loved “LUCI Family” atmosphere of our in-person events, the LUCI Coffee Bre@ks were created. These short 30-minute regular online rendezvous sessions are an opportunity for members to stay in touch and hear from experts on a variety of urban lighting topics. Members have access to replays on the LUCI Hub, our dedicated knowledge exchange platform.
