Participants have the opportunity to have hands-on experience with consoles and several elements involved within the lighting network from multiple manufacturers. Consoles will be integrated into networks with visualizers, nodes, and lights allowing participants to walk through how lighting systems are set up and integrated on stages and locations. Participants work through the systems with experienced programmers to learn how the systems are planned and built and see how they vary between the different brands. They will get a chance to look at the various types of paperwork that gets created and used as well as share how that information gets distributed. This low stress environment will allow participants to ask the questions that they’ve always wanted to ask the programmers onset but have been unable to do so.
