Showlight 2009

The conference programme will include invited contributions from eminent speakers worldwide, as well as papers submitted by those in the entertainment lighting field who have something of interest to offer. Lighting designers and directors, scenographers and equipment manufacturers are invited to submit ideas NOW for contributions to the conference.

Seven main topics have been chosen for broad interpretation. Contributions to the sessions are expected to be between 15 and 20 minutes in length to leave time for discussion, although this can be extended for subjects which lend themselves to longer analysis. There are envisaged to be two or more keynote speakers and an interview with a leading lighting practitioner.

Showlight takes pride in attracting a wide range of speakers, on a wide range of subjects, from major international lighting events, to innovative use of lighting in the village hall; from state of the art research, to borrowing ideas from other lighting genres; from Broadway award winners, to student practitioners.

As a guide papers could fall into the following categories, or into categories yet to be explored!

• Description of INNOVATIVE LIGHTING DESIGNS
• UNUSUAL AND SPECIAL RIGS you have used
• IT'S MY DESIGN
• I TRIED THIS AND IT DIDN'T WORK - this could prove the most useful paper presented!
• LIGHT SOURCES - new sources, unusual sources, sources of last resort
• SPECIAL EFFECTS
• THE FUTURE AND THE PAST - techniques we have forgotten that could help us in the future.

Please fill in and submit the form below before May 30th 2008.
