The much-anticipated quadrennial networking event for lighting practitioners, the first in-person Showlight since 2017, takes place at Le Parc des Expositions et Congrès de Dijon in France from 19-22 May 2025 with Robert Juliat as its headline sponsor.
Tickets for this unique networking event are now on sale and can be booked direct from the website at www.showlight.org/tickets
Register for Showlight 2025 here. Delegates have a choice of three ticket options:
– Full Delegate
– Day Delegate (Papers Only)
– Student.
Full Delegate ticket holders enjoy the whole event which, in addition to the Papers Sessions on all days, includes daily lunch and coffee/tea breaks, Monday evening’s Welcome Reception, Tuesday evening’s Company-Sponsored Dinners, the new Wednesday afternoon Workshops and the grand Showlight Conference Dinner.
Day Delegate (Papers Only) tickets give delegates access for one day to attend the Papers Sessions on either Tuesday, Wednesday (including workshops) or Thursday – with, of course, lunch, tea and coffee breaks included.
Student ticket holders, like Full Delegates, will have access on all days to the Papers Presentations, Workshops, Welcome Reception, Company Dinners, Conference Dinner and daily tea & coffee breaks and lunch.
All ticket holders will have full admission to the Exhibition of major lighting equipment manufacturers and service providers which is open between Papers Sessions.
Tickets will sell out fast, so secure your place now by visiting the Showlight website at www.showlight.org to register.
Sponsored Student Scheme
Showlight offers the opportunity for a number of students and recent graduates of lighting courses to attend Showlight 2025 free of charge. Each successful applicant is sponsored by one of the Showlight exhibitors and will receive a £500.00 stipend to put towards their travel and accommodation.
In return, each student is requested to make themselves available to their sponsor to help with their stand fit up on Monday 19 May and the de-rig on Thursday 22 May. Stands are small so this is an easy set up and a chance to build a relationship with your sponsor’s team.
For more information and to submit your application for one of these free tickets, fill in the selection form on the Showlight website at www.showlight.org/students.
Book your hotel
Dijon is a busy destination (especially with Showlight descending on it!) so book your accommodation as soon as possible to ensure you have the room you want. Headline sponsor Robert Juliat has worked hard with Showlight to secure a number of preferential rates with hotels in the Accor group, a list of which can be found on the Showlight website at www.showlight.org/hotels-travel.
Be sure to tick the ‘Special Rates/Tarifs Spéciaux’ box showing SHOWLIGHT 2025 to secure this rate. Rooms are on a first come, first served basis after which the prices will revert to the standard rate.
Other information
More information on all aspects of Showlight 2025 will be released over the coming months. Look out for news on speakers and their papers topics, and the new programme of workshops. Details of new exhibitors and sponsors are continually being updated on the Showlight website and social media sites.
