The South African Roadies Association (SARA) hosted its fourth Annual Live Event Technical and Production Conference (LETPC 2018) in May 2018, at The Sunnyside Park Hotel in Parktown, Johannesburg. The three-day event attracted over 120 delegates from different countries across the globe.
The LETPC conference has become one of the foremost platforms for international Live Event Technical and Production professionals to meet, network and discuss critical issues that are affecting the sector with topics such as such as health and safety, production, event management, venues, artist challenges, Dj and Producer issue, technical advances being interrogated by the speakers and audience alike.
The LETPC 2018 featured a range of local as well as international guest speakers, and as was intended once again, to expose the South African live event, technical and production sectors and practitioners to best practices occurring across Africa and the world and to share with those from elsewhere the gains made and challenges experienced, locally.
According to SARA, “the primary objective of the LETPC has been and remains to pull together the event, technical, production and training and skills development sectors from across the country, the continent and the world.”
“SARA is once again indebted by the continuous support and sponsorship received, especially from anchor sponsor the Department of Arts and Culture, whose support is greatly appreciated. Others who have brought sponsorship support to the LETPC include Black Motion Productions, DWR Distribution, Gearhouse, Sound Corporation, Dr Nandi’s Aesthetic Medical Boutique and as well as media partner, 1912 Online Radio,” SARA concludes.
