LDI is not just the most important North American trade show for the gearheads, creatives, and businesses of the live entertainment community. The show, from November 29—December 5 in Las Vegas, is also an important access point for young people hoping to train and work in the industry and an opportunity for all of us to further diversity and inclusion in our community.
LDI 2023 offers several opportunities for your brand to provide support for the recipients of the 2023 Pat MacKay Diversity In Design Scholarships. See below for sponsorship options, or reach out to our sales department for a custom way to invest in the future of live events.
Diversity In Design (Exclusive)
Each year LDI presents the Pat MacKay Diversity in Design Scholarships to undergraduate students in lighting, video/projection, and sound design. The 2022 recipients represent a wide range of disciplines and serve as ambassadors for the show and its supporters, generating interest from their colleges and future employers. By supporting these future designers at LDI, you can offer them an invaluable experience where they can hone their craft at the pro level and enjoy the opportunity to be immersed in the LDI community. By sponsoring this initiative, we move the future forward together.
