“As proud sponsors of Women in Entertainment Lighting, we are delighted to host this event which is open to everyone,” said Ayrton’s Training and DesignEngineer, Briony Berning. “We warmly encourage you to attend, and just as importantly, to bring your clients along – this is a great opportunity for them to meet our speakers, draw inspiration from their journeys, and connect with peers from across the industry.”
Many talented students in lighting design and technical fields don’t yet have the industry connections or budget to attend events like this one. Sponsorship of their travel and accommodation can be the door that opens their career. Please consider supporting a student to attend this event.
“We are in the 5th year of the collaboration between WIL Entertainment and Ayrton and are excited to attend this annual session that gets better year on year,” said Sharon Stammers. “A celebration of WIL with talks from all worlds of lighting, networking and an amazing light show – what’s stopping you attending?”
