ETC's CUE conference is an opportunity for lighting professionals and enthusiasts of all experience levels to improve their skills and learn tips and tricks that they can use every day in their careers. CUE is especially beneficial to students and those at the beginning of their lighting careers, who can get in-depth, hands-on experience with all ETC products, including fixtures, lighting controls, power control systems and more.
CUE will also have master classes and keynote presentations led by Josh Allen of Theatre Consultants Collaborative; and Al Crawford, the lighting director of the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre and CEO of lighting design group Arc3design.
CUE 2015 also offers opportunities to network with ETC staff and other lighting professionals from around the world. There will also be a chance to visit ETC's headquarters, to see where many of the company's products are manufactured and to learn about ETC's history.
