Pride In Every Production
This year’s Pride theme celebrates the contributions that the LGBTQ+ community has made to science and innovation. As a company dedicated to the live events industry, we are proud to support the moments that bring people together by using lighting to help create unforgettable experiences. We want to shine a light on those within our community whose talent and creativity have helped shape who we are today.
We are proud to have worked with some of the most iconic LGBTQ+ artists, whose music and visibility have not only influenced the industry, but have also inspired generations of fans around the world. However, the LGBTQ+ community does not only exist in front of the bright lights. It also includes the talented professionals working behind the scenes to create once-in-a-lifetime experiences for millions. We are privileged to be part of an industry that combines science and innovation while continuing to champion diversity and representation.
Lights With Pride
This Pride Month, we set out to recognise the people whose talent and dedication help shape the live events industry. We kicked off our Pride celebrations by introducing our new Robe GigaPointe fixtures as part of our ‘Lights with Pride’ campaign, honouring the people who bring innovation and technical excellence to each and every production. The campaign also provided an opportunity to highlight the stories and experiences of those helping to drive positive change within the live events community.
Conversations That Inspire Change
We launched the first episode of our podcast in collaboration with ABEP/The Zoo XYZ. Speaking with Nadu, founder of both The Zoo XYZ & ABEP, we discussed representation within the live events industry and the importance of creating pathways for women and other underrepresented groups. As we celebrate Pride, we are proud to spotlight LGBTQ+ professionals whose contributions continue to strengthen and diversify our industry.
Celebrating Together
To conclude our Pride activities, we hosted our monthly Tea & Talk with a special Pride twist. This month, colleagues put their knowledge to the test with a quiz on LGBTQ+ icons in the music industry and general Pride trivia, all while enjoying a selection of Pride-themed sweet treats. Tea & Talk is a great opportunity to catch up with coworkers and strengthen our sense of community. Our Pride-themed edition was a reminder that everyone belongs here, and our workplace is strongest when people can bring their whole selves to work.
