Showlight 2017 , the World show lighting conference , will take place from 20 to 23 May 2017 in Florence . An unmissable event for show business professionals . The event has existed for about thirty years , and it takes place every four years , each time in a different country . The organizers have chosen Italy for the 2017 edition , and Claypaky has been selected as main sponsor at the event . The heart of Showlight are the talks by authoritative speakers , which focus on subjects regarding show lighting in the theatre , at major events , on television and in the cinema , and even architectural and theme park installations . The speakers are lighting designers , lighting directors , and architects . In any case , they are lighting experts who have put together major international shows or projects over the past four years . They recount their experience and the technical solutions they devised , or the new technologies available . There are also fringe events in parallel with the conference , such as an exhibition

Showlight 2017 will take place in Florence
An appointment that show lighting professionals cannot miss . Claypaky is main sponsor
area with about forty lighting industry companies , a series of social activities , and a programme of guided tours to interesting places in the city of Florence . The talks begin on Sunday 21 May and end on Tuesday 23 May . The conference venue is the auditorium of Palazzo dei Congressi in Florence , a prestigious building next to the Santa Maria Novella railway station . The provisional conference schedule has already been posted on the event website www . showlight . org , with the names of the speakers and the topics of their talks . The fringe event programme has also been published on the Showlight website . To take part in Showlight you have to pay a registration fee . Despite this , Showlight has always been a must , especially for lighting designers in the English-speaking world and Northern Europe . Its success lies in the event ’ s format . In particular , it is a conference with important topical themes for those working in show lighting , carefully chosen by the organizing committee . The speakers are all top-ranking experts ,
and their talks are presented in a professional and - above all - concise manner : everyone has just twenty minutes . This gives the conference a lively rhythm and leaves room for a wide variety of topics . Showlight is also a unique opportunity for socializing : the talks are interspersed with breaks , during which everyone can meet , interact , and exchange experiences . The coffee breaks and buffet lunches are held in the exhibition area , next to the conference room , and served from refreshment points scattered among the booths . The booths are small and all strictly the same size . The idea behind this is that the exhibiting companies are not there to promote their products , but to provide technical information to people who use their products . Moreover , the organizing committee has also put together a programme of optional social activities , which enrich the conference with interesting recreational events for the participants . As far as this goes , Florence really offers the unthinkable , from every point of view , especially for international attendees . All the talks are in English . It is a paid event , but there are prices to fit all needs : a full fee to attend all the talks , a special fee to attend only one day , a students ’ fee , a social programme fee , and so on . Taking part in Showlight is of paramount importance for every lighting professional . Not only is it possible to attend high level professional training , but you can also get to know great professionals who have put on extraordinarily important events and shows , in an informal setting . Claypaky is the main sponsor at the event , since we are the most important entertainment lighting company in the conference host country . Pio Nahum , Claypaky CEO , said : “ our company has always supported all previous editions of Showlight , since we consider it a fundamental event for developing the ‘ culture of light ’ in the entertainment world . It is thanks to serious events like Showlight that being a lighting designer has become a recognized , well paid , qualified profession in the English-speaking world . An event like Showlight is above all an opportunity for professional growth for those who work in the field , but it also promotes and raises the level of the profession . Moreover , from the point of view of Claypaky , ADB , Osram and companies like ours , more widespread professionalism in our industry means a better chance that the added value of the quality and performance of our products is appreciated .”
