Highlights of the day include industry seminars with Richard Cadena of ETCP RT/CEE; Richard “Nook” Schoenfeld, author, lighting designer, and PLSN editor; and projection designer Nick Comis, who’ll be talking about Protecting the Stage, Testing Troubleshooting Control Systems, What Makes Good Light, and Magic Mapping. There will also be a panel discussion on Understanding CRI.
Schoenfeld comments on the upcoming date. “I stopped down last year and was overwhelmed by the diversity of products and the amount of people who stopped in. Richard’s seminars are always interesting and one can learn a lot spending a little bit of time with him. He’s just a tremendous wealth of information.
I’m always happy to share my knowledge as well as learn new stuff from the other folks in attendance. Like what’s this Magic Mapping they speak of? I’m looking forward to seeing all the gear as well as catching up with a couple of well-known local touring LD’s that have promised to stop down and say hi. By all means, if you are anywhere near Orlando, I’d love to meet you and talk shop. I’m also hoping the barbecue truck is back at lunch time this year.”
Techni-Lux’s Technical Department will be offering class sessions throughout the day. Nathan Rudolf of Interactive Technologies will be presenting a session on primary DMX systems and questions. In the large exhibit area, guests can try out new and exciting product lines and talk to company representatives directly.
“Making our visitors more aware of Techni-Lux’s overall capabilities is the driving focus behind this year’s Technology Day,” states Alex Gonzalez, VP of Techni-Lux. “In addition to featuring new products, hands-on exhibits, special guests, lunch, and education courses, visitors see our company’s unique range of abilities and inventory for their own eyes!”
The open house and exhibits are free, but registration is required. Seating is first-come-first-serve for seminars and classes.
In addition to lunch, there will be snacks and beverages served all day plus ongoing raffles and door prizes.
