I have just returned from three weeks of trade shows during June 2022, having traveled to Los Angeles, California for Cine Gear LA Expo, 4Wall NY for their Vendor Showcase/BBQ in Moonachie, New Jersey, and ABTT Theatre Show at Alexandra Palace in London, United Kingdom.

I have a whirlwind of thoughts and emotions.

I’d just like to say how welcoming the industry has been to me in this new role. Designers, associates, manufactures, and electricians whom I've known for decades to those I'm meeting in my new position for the first time have been so welcoming.

The industry is strong. It is resilient. We are in a renaissance of connection.

We feel it in the City Theatrical factory, and we are dreaming, analyzing, and planning for the future.  We have been your solution for almost four decades and we will continue to meet the challenge of the future of lighting.

Cine Gear LA Expo | Los Angeles, California, USA | June 10-11, 2022

I had an absolute blast speaking to the film industry in Los Angeles at Cine Gear LA Expo about City Theatrical solutions for film and video projects, and listening to users in that market about the challenges they meet.

4Wall NY Vendor Showcase | Moonachie, New Jersey, USA | June 16, 2022

4Wall's NY Showcase event on June 16, 2022 was the ultimate gathering of the New York lighting industry, bringing together many of the industry leaders for the first time since the pandemic.

ABTT Theatre Show | London, United Kingdom | June 23-24, 2022

And then London on the 23rd and 24th of June, 2022, a true theater town… I got to meet so many new users who are still making theater in venues across Europe as well as re-connect with colleagues I’d toured with or produced events with for years. The opportunity to speak about the City Theatrical products and family was an honor.
