UK - The Central School of Speech and Drama hosts one of a series of events organised by the ALD (Association of Lighting Designers). Professional Development for Working Lighting Designers on 3 May is sponsored by MA Lighting and will be a chance for professional lighting designers to meet in London and see new equipment in use. The event makes use of Central's excellent theatre and professionally-focused lighting design and production lighting students (some of whom will be demonstrating the equipment).

Nick Moran, lecturer in lighting at Central says, "I am delighted that Central is able to host this event in the fully-equipped Embassy Theatre. It offers professional lighting designers a chance to discover new technologies, and a chance for them to meet the students who may soon be working alongside them in theatre and elsewhere. The event underlines our commitment at Central to involve industry in the training of tomorrow's professionals."
