Lightfair seems like an interesting conference for those who are interested in all things Lighting. I knew of the IALD conference I believe, which is the one CMU goes to every year, but I’ve never heard of LightFair. It is incredible that they provide nearly 200 handpicked speakers to talk at the conference to learn more about lighting and the top line artists and engineers in the industry. I also found it fascinating that they have an educational program that is curated by the Illuminating Engineering Society and IALD to fill the gaps in continuing lighting education. I am surprised that there are gaps, here at CMU the basic stagecraft lighting class covers a lot of topics, but I’d assume with the industry constantly changing for the better there are new elements and things to learn every day. This conference seems like a very informative and fun one if you are interested in lighting design and engineering. It also seems like the best place to network and finds new jobs, which I think all technicians should keep in mind during their careers.
