Over 270 lighting professionals and event companies enjoyed a day where they could discover the details of shows like Eurovision.

Al Gurdon opened his speech highlighting the importance of a good light beyond considered as a simple tool. The tour of Madonna, Kylie Minogue and Beyonce were some of the shows which he explained on stage. Al Gurdon defined the sensations as the main driver for a successful design. Finally, he concluded with one of the most impressive television shows, the halftime ceremony of Superbowl.

 

After the lunch break, Peter Canning concluded the Masterclass where he explained the details and design of the opening and closing ceremonies of the Sochi Olympic Games. Scenary, videomapping and lighting transform the opening and closing ceremonies of the Sochi Olympic Games in one experience. The seminar ended with a special recognition to the founder of Stonex, Domingo Latorre, and Clay Paky, for their successful 20-year relationship.
