IPM: Keeping the lights on

CHAIRS: LISA RYAN, FREIGHT MINDS (UK)
& JOHN PROBYN, SOLOTECH (UK)

The first of the day’s two production-focussed sessions picks up a wide agenda of key challenges facing this vital sector. Topics tabled for discussion include the ongoing challenge of labour and expertise for touring productions, alongside the drive to build more diverse teams. And how do those at the coal face of tours and festivals keep up with the ever-increasing demand for live performance as record levels of shows add pressure to already stretched operations? Finally, in the bid to make tours more sustainable than ever, we focus on some unique power solutions now available, including a case study from the ongoing Coldplay tour.

This year’s ILMC Production Meeting (IPM) sessions, as well as Thursday’s Production Lunch, are supported by Freight Minds, Solotech, and eps.
