LITITZ, PA––Since the launch of Live Event Career Exploration Conferences at Rock Lititz in 2018, the campus has hosted over a 3,000 high school students, college students, and young professionals looking to learn about careers in live events on campus. These educational and immersive days provide a deeper look at live event specialties, with access to gear demonstrations, conversations with industry professionals, and direct interaction with industry employers.
This year, the conference series returns with the same amount of wow but a new name: Experience LIVE a Conference for High School Students on April 25th and Experience LIVE a Conference for College Students and Young Professionals on November 8th. Applications for the High School conference will open on January 31st with instructional available at careerday.rocklititz.com
Both Experience LIVE days offer insight on building a career in live events. Custom immersive demonstrations and top production voices offer students a true overview of this diverse and creative industry that blends art and technology for audiences around the world. Each conference wraps with a meet & greet where students can connect with either schools that offer programs that feed into live events or connections with companies looking to hire. Experience LIVE is made possible by the many partners who participate.
The 2023 College Conference was presented by Ryan Aviation, who arrange air travel for both the live event industry and beyond. In addition to their presenting sponsorship of the Experience LIVE Conference, their generous $50,000 donation helped launch the Industry Engagement Fund for the Academy of Live Technology at Rock Lititz. Students are now able to travel off campus to engage in real life experiences at festivals, concerts, and more.
Through Experience LIVE, Rock Lititz continues to be committed to supporting and developing future generations of live event professionals. Opening the door, often for the first time, to fresh perspectives, diverse voices, and eager learners is crucial for the ongoing success of the industry.
