Europe - Showlight 2025 has sparked considerable interest. The papers committee is meeting to discuss the first raft of papers submissions for the central programme, the first sponsors are already signed up and visible on the Showlight website (www.showlight.org/our-sponsors), and 60% of the exhibition spaces have already been sold.
If you want to become part of Showlight 2025 as an exhibitor, don’t delay in contacting us to secure your space.
The exhibition area is the place to meet lighting designers, directors and delegates across all disciplines, in a relaxed and informal atmosphere, at morning, afternoon and lunchtime breaks. These breaks are a key part of Showlight’s networking opportunities and allow much closer contact with entertainment lighting users and specifiers than any of the large-scale trade shows. The exhibition area is also our break and dining area, so you can expect speakers and delegates to spend time on your stand or table – and with an anticipated attendance of 350-400, that gives everyone three days of quality time for conversations and discussions.
In 2025, as part of the new look Showlight, exhibitors are offered a choice of two exhibitor options: the traditional 3m x 3m shell scheme complete with table and six chairs on which to welcome delegates, or a trestle table and six chairs located in the centre of the exhibition space where delegates can sit with you and chat during the breaks. The latter has been introduced as an economic way for smaller exhibitors to have a presence at the conference.
Either option is manned by two nominated members of your staff and exhibitors will also be allocated a lighting student or young professional – who will have expressed an interest in your company - to help with the fit up and break down and throughout the event.
During the Papers Sessions all exhibitors can enjoy the presentations too, providing more thought-provoking fuel to those valuable break time discussions. Exhibitors also have the option to host a table at a pre-selected restaurant for the traditional Company Dinners on the Tuesday evening.
For more information and to book your space, contact Matt Hallard on exhibit@showlight.org.
There is still time to become a Showlight sponsor. Plenty of opportunities exist to become a Showlight 2025 sponsor, including sponsoring a student or a speaker. Contact Matt Hallard on sponsorship@showlight.org for more details.
