Technology plays a major role during the three Manufacturers’ Showcases at the Live Design Broadway Master Classes, taking place at New York University in NY, NY, May 15-21, 2009. Each of the Master Classes—sound, lighting, and projection—has a technology showcase which allows attends and the designers on the faculty to see today’s cutting-edge projects, network with representatives from major manufacturers and dealers, and stay up to date on technological advances across the industry.
