LIGHTING
IN 2018
TOP CANADIAN LDs ON THE LATEST TECH & TRENDS
By Andrew King
F
or our first issue of 2017, we brought together some of Canada’s
best-known concert and event lighting designers to weigh in with
some general thoughts and opinions on the current state of their
business – everything from new tools and technologies to industry
trends affecting their workflow to their thoughts on the incoming genera-
tion of lighting pros.
Having unearthed some interesting ideas and insights, we decided to
repeat the process to kick off 2018, bringing together a new panel of rep-
utable designers, programmers, and operators to gauge what’s in store for
our industry in the next 12 months and beyond. From the importance of
industry-wide RDM adoption to the ongoing benefits of LED technology to
effective communication with clients, we cover a lot of ground on a wide
array of topics to get you primed for an exciting year ahead.
