Virtual Showlight 2021 -- Registration is Open for the May 25th Event

	Look! Virtual Showlight Registration is OPEN. (NB VR goggles not required!)

Virtual Showlight 21 announce that registration for its unique online event is now open! Tickets can be obtained from Hubilo by following this link: vsl21.hubilo.com.

Tickets are free of charge, but delegates are encouraged to make voluntary donations via our Just Giving page when registering as all proceeds will go to support industry charities, Backup and Behind the Scenes.

The event will be hosted on behalf of Showlight by MaxLive Events and takes place on May 25, 2021 between 15:00 BST and 23:00 BST.

Organizers report: "We have an exciting program of speakers lined up for your entertainment and education! These will be interspersed by a number of 'video shorts' -- short stand-alone papers, some of which will be forerunners to the full Showlight event that we hope will resume next year."

A discussion panel of international speakers will focus on the issue of diversity in the lighting industry. And in between sessions there will be a number of breakout rooms, hosted by Showlight sponsors, which delegates can enter to view and discuss sponsors' products and services. There will also be a networking lounge for general mixing and mingling.

"So, come and join us for a day of networking and lighting indulgence in celebration of the spirit of Showlight. Sadly, the only thing we cannot offer you is the famous Showlight refreshment which, on this occasion, you will need to provide for yourself!"

Organizers would like to thank Showlight's generous sponsors whose donations have enabled Showlight to cover the cost of this virtual event, allowing the maximum of delegate donations to go direct to the charities. Robert Juliat is the headline sponsor, and is joined by Ayrton, ACT Lighting, Inc., Altman, ARRI, Claypaky, Copper Candle, ETC, Robe, and Vectorworks. Virtual Showlight is also supported by media partner, LSi, and by LightingandSound America.

The final details of VSL21 presentation papers and the discussion panel are close to completion and will be released shortly. Organizers report there are some great speakers lined up for attendees! Sign up to the Showlight mailing list at www.showlight.org to be the first to hear more.
