New Zealand Starlight Conference 2024
October 20-23, 2024
The Starlight Conference promotes New Zealand as a world leader in dark skies protection and astrotourism. It also highlights the health and environmental impacts of artificial light at night (ALAN) by engaging with world experts who contribute to conference presentations.
This year, the main theme of the Starlight Conference 2024 is Dark Skies for All: a Call for Action. To help New Zealand communities, local government officials, and lighting engineers install lights that comply with best international practices, a special presentation of the latest research on the hazards of blue light emissions from LED streetlights will be made.
