I’ll be there!

You can find me at the DeLong Rigging Booth when not otherwise occupied. I’ve been helping Tyler update his One Shot Training videos.

Presenting on the BACKstage exam and curriculum resources for that with Dana Taylor.

Bringing my husband, Brian, and our son, Alexander. Alex’s first time!

Abbey - the bags Richard was talking about are at Syracuse Scenic and are made from scraps of curtains. Ask if they might have an apron, they don’t usually have those sitting out as they only make a few. Those aprons are fabulous if you are working as a dresser because they have DEEP pockets!

ALSO don’t let age or a “big name” intimidate you. We’re all tech lovers there and you’ll find you have a lot in common with everyone you meet, even if they did write your text book or design your favorite show. Bring business cards with a non-school but still professional email address - you can print your own on stationery from the local office supply store or get some from one of the online printers. If you are job hunting, bring resumes. Wear comfy shoes, bring a refillable water bottle and some snacks as there’s no defined time for meals. And leave space in your luggage to take home swag. I look forward to meeting you!

Hi all!

Been lurking here for a few years! Am now a college student going to USITT for the first time! Excited to be there with such cool folks. Any recommendations for young folks going for the first time?

Best,
Abbey

Hi All,

Who’s planning on attending USITT?



We’re hosting a mixer with the Lighting Commission to help young professionals build their professional networks on Friday evening.

I’m also chairing a panel on AI in lighting design and production.



It should be a great show!



Who from this group might I bump into?
