Showlight is one of the few international events organised specifically for lighting professionals by lighting professionals across the theatre, television, film, performance, architectural and event worlds. A mix of conference, tradeshow and sociability, Showlight is an opportunity to mix with others in the lighting industry in an informal and informative atmosphere.
"PLASA was the right forum to have a stand for Showlight," says lighting designer and Showlight technical support, Rudi Benz. "It is a show that puts a lot of effort into networking and education which is right in line with Showlight's own philosophy.
"We had a lot of interest from visitors as prospective exhibitors, speakers and delegates. Being situated amongst the industry organisations and drama schools, we also met many students who had not heard of Showlight before. They were very interested to hear that Showlight offers 40 places to students sponsored by the exhibitors, and uptake has increased since. We were also very happy to sign up more exhibitors for next May, to the extent that we have almost reached maximum capacity eight months before the event!"
Exhibitor places in Florence are almost sold out and delegate registration is newly opened. Visit www.showlight.org to discover more about all Showlight.
