LDI is launching a series of Live For Broadcast sessions in a specially built pavilion on the show floor at this year’s conference.
Leading lighting designers from the TV and film sector will discuss the changing landscape of the broadcast industry and how technology, innovation and the evolution of the medium itself are transforming the creative process.
Sessions will feature 30-minute talks by experts including Bob Barnhart, Mike Berger, Matt Cotter, Oscar Dominguez, Josh Hutchins, Tiffany Keyes, and Jeff Ravitz.
The lead sponsor for the Live For Broadcast Pavilion is PRG and all sessions will take place in the new Live For Broadcast Pavilion inside the Las Vegas Convention Center.
“We’re thrilled to be bringing some of the industry’s highest achievers to the new Live For Broadcast sessions at LDI, and offer them at no extra charge to ensure everyone has the same opportunity to benefit from them,” says Jessi Cybulski, LDI show manager. “The Live For Broadcast Pavilion is just one of the new attractions at LDI, as we work to expand what’s at the show. We’re looking forward to sharing it all with the industry in November.”
In addition, LDI is further enhancing its TV and film market support by offering a series of in-depth sessions with world-class broadcast lighting designers at this year’s conference.
Open to all LDInnovation™ Conference badge and six-pack conference pass holders, the guest speakers will explore new opportunities in the industry and the skillsets required to adapt as requirements evolve.
“These 90-minute sessions will explore issues at the heart of our industry, with the latest design tips and techniques, lighting applications, lighting console programming, and video art and technology,” says Cybulski continues. “They offer an invaluable way to learn your way around the business and grow your knowledge of this sector.”
They will take place in a Room N264 with lighting gear provided by ARRI and PRG. All three in-depth sessions will be recorded and available to view on demand on the LiveDesignOnline website.
