Standards on the Stage: PLASA's In-Booth Standards Presentations Returns to LDI

Standards on the Stage will take place on Friday, November 21, and Saturday, November 22 during LDI show floor hours and will feature educational and informational sessions on new standards, established standards, and draft standards from PLASA's Technical Standards Program. Look forward to hearing from industry experts like Doug Fleenor, Richard Nix, Peter Willis, Karl Ruling, Mike Wood, and more as they share their experiences and knowledge of PLASA's Technical Standards. Presentations will include such subjects as: a new project for makeup mirror lighting, a talk on why your lights might flicker using DMX512 and RDM, and a demonstration on the tip-test for boom and base assemblies. All attendees of Standards on the Stage will be entered to win a pair of tickets to Cirque du Soleil Zarkana on Sunday, November 23 at 7:00pm.

Standards on the Stage is open to all LDI attendees, and will take place every 30 minutes in PLASA booth 1469. For the entire schedule visit http://na.plasa.org/news/TSP_Schedule2014.html.
