Showlight 2017: Call for speakers

The Showlight Quadrennial is an international event organised specifically for lighting professionals by lighting professionals across the performance, television, film, architectural and event worlds. Held every four years, Showlight 2017 takes place in Florence, Italy, and celebrates the 10th presentation of this lighting colloquium.

Clay Paky will be the main sponsor for Showlight 2017 which takes place at the historic Palazzo dei Congressi in the Renaissance city of Florence. The Palazzo has a large seated conference hall surrounded by an exhibition area where up to 40 exhibitors will be located. Delegates will have time to visit the stands, and exhibitors to attend the presentation of papers. A full programme of visits to major and unusual cultural places is offered on the Monday afternoon.

A major part of the event is the conference programme. The speakers’ subjects range from major international lighting events to innovative use of lighting in the village hall; from research to borrowing ideas from other lighting genres; from Broadway award winners to student practitioners.

Showlight is now calling all lighting designers and directors, associates, programmers, scenographers, equipment manufacturers and others to put forward their ideas for conference papers for the 2017 programme. Sessions should be 20 minutes in length to leave time for discussion and to enable more topics to be covered. Video clips showing the range of speakers and topics from Showlight 2013 in Český Krumlov can be found on the Showlight website.

Speakers at Showlight benefit from free registration which covers everything, including access to all the seminar presentations, the trade show, full participation in the visits programme, food and drink throughout the day and a place at the main Conference Dinner on Monday evening. Showlight offers a contribution towards the speakers’ travelling expenses.
