Rob will be involved in three on-line sessions over the next few weeks, covering quite a diverse range of subjects.
On the morning of Wednesday 12th May, he’ll be part of the panel talking about the EU’s Ecodesign regulation (and its new post-Brexit UK equivalent) as part of the PLASA Online 2021 event, alongside PLASA’s Peter Heath, Silke Lalvani of Pearle, and Christian Allabauer of OTHG. This will be a great place to learn about where things have ended up with these regulations, how they might affect you as a manufacturer or user of lighting equipment, and what might happen in the future in both the EU and the UK.

That afternoon, Rob will be back as the host of a session on the recent production of Romeo & Juliet which combined real performers with virtual scenery and lighting. Rob will be chatting to those responsible for the production - Ryan Metcalfe, who produced it,, created the visuals and edited it all together, designer Jamie Osborne and sound designer Olly Steel.
