The all-expense-paid trip is a great way to gain experience, see the inner-workings of the lighting industry and do some networking. ETC covers the costs of round-trip airfare, hotel accommodations, meals, LDI conference passes, and exclusive swag, and hosts a student reception where you can meet industry luminaries – lighting designers, educators, consultants, journalists, and employers – and connect with peers. During show hours, you will get a behind-the-curtain look at ETC and its newest innovations, and a front-row seat to the latest developments in entertainment technology.
