About this event

Ammonite Studios will bring the industry's top pre-visualisation experts to the National Theatre for a unique day of debate and discovery. We look in detail at one of the largest areas of technology growth in contemporary production of recent years and lift the lid on all things ‘pre-vis’.

These dynamic portals provide design and control capabilities to ever more complex staging and multimedia production and following on from Ammonite Studios’ well received ‘The Future of Followspots’ day in 2023, we provide a timely debate and appraisal of the myriad systems and products making up the pre-vis universe.

Come and experience the demo room from 11am featuring a selection of lighting desks and pre-vis software for you to get hands-on experience. Industry experts will be on hand to guide you, whether you're a first time user or experienced professional looking to enhance your knowledge.

From 1pm the Dorfman Theatre will host panel discussions with designers and programmers and provide a platform for anyone interested in quizzing real world users as to the pros and cons of these clever systems. Hosted by Stew Hume editor of TPi magazine, we'll meander through the questions on everyones minds.

Expect bold debate, live demos and big questions on collaboration, creativity and the future of digital show-building.

Following the event come and join us for a drink in the Understudy Bar at the National Theatre to share your thoughts on the day and meet industry collegues.
