A shining memorial and a flaming appeal of the event industry to politicians to save our industry! Do not let culture & events die out! On 22 June we hosted a virtual event in cooperation with Big City Beats & many artists live from the Adam Hall Experience Center near Frankfurt, Germany.
By bathing monuments in red colour all over Germany, Night of Light wanted to call on government’s attention for the very difficult situation of the event technology industry.

On both - national and international level - many affected companies support initiators of petitions calling for emergency aid, tax measures and further support from the state. A large number of companies also show great solidarity with aid campaigns as well. We would like to present some of the important petitions and exciting initiatives to you.
