Automated Tracking In Action

Session details:

Automated performer tracking is rapidly changing the way live events are lit, but how does it actually work in the real world?

Join an experienced tracking technician, a lighting designer, and a rental company representative as they share practical workflows, creative applications, and lessons learned from deploying automated tracking on tours and live events.

The panel will explore how tracking systems fit into modern lighting workflows, when they provide the greatest value, and what it really takes to implement them successfully. Through real-world examples and candid discussion, attendees will gain a better understanding of system preparation, creative opportunities, operational considerations, and common misconceptions, including the belief that automation replaces lighting professionals rather than expanding what they can achieve.

Whether you are a lighting designer, programmer, technician, production manager, or rental company, you’ll leave with practical insights into where automated tracking is today, where it’s heading, and how to determine whether it belongs in your next production.
