2nd Stage Lighting Designers Meetup in Riga: Building a Professional Lighting Community

A growing stage lighting community in Riga

The event confirmed a strong and growing interest in creating a professional lighting design community in the Baltics. Participants engaged in discussions not only about technology, but also about creative processes, visual language, and the role of lighting design in modern stage productions.

The meetup format encourages open exchange of experience, ideas, and practical knowledge, making it a valuable platform for both emerging and experienced professionals.

Technology and creativity: Ayrton solutions in focus

As part of the event, participants were introduced to the latest solutions from Ayrton, including modern beam lighting technologies. The presentation highlighted how advanced lighting tools support creative decisions and shape the visual identity of stage productions.

This combination of technology and artistic approach is at the core of contemporary lighting design practice.

Continuing the Stage Lighting Meetup Series

The meetup is part of an ongoing Stage Lighting Meetup Series, aimed at developing professional dialogue and strengthening the industry network in the region.

Following the success of the Riga and Vilnius meetups, the next event is planned for summer in Riga, where the conversation will continue with an expanded professional audience.

We welcome both returning participants and new professionals to join the upcoming discussions.
