“We are extremely pleased to bring back the Live Design Master Classes in a new virtual format,” says Live Design’s creative director Ellen Lampert-Gréaux, who has worked on the programming of the Master Classes since the mid-90s. “They are an important way for us to reach out to the community, and bring our sponsors together with top-name designers and industry professionals throughout the year in a meaningful manner.”
“This is such a unique time for everyone, but especially in the production industry on all levels,” says Marian Sandberg, vice president & market leader for LDI and Live Design. “We have an opportunity to rethink a lot of what we do and how we bring educational and training content to our audiences, so we’re really delighted to bring back this beloved brand on a virtual basis.
