IPS are proud to be an Industry Partner of Production Futures, which aims to help young people to learn, train, network and develop work opportunities in production across all aspects of Live Events, Music, Festivals, Touring, Theatre, TV, Broadcast, Film and Virtual Production.
Production Futures On Tour is a series of roadshow events taking place all over the UK where a range of top UK technical production suppliers present some of their services and make themselves available to discuss placement schemes and career opportunities within events. It is an ideal place to network and meet a wide range of people. The events take place all over the county, with the first event of 2023 being hosted by Confetti at Metronome in Nottingham in February. IPS were in attendance in Nottingham, with a popular interactive demo setup where visitors could try their hand at mixing a band – and we will be bringing a similar system along to
The next event dates and venues announced include:

IPS have displayed various different equipment areas, focussing on entertainment lighting, film and television lighting , and most recently a festival sound setup with a popular interactive demo where visitors could try their hand at mixing a band. We will be bringing the festival sound setup to the University of Gloucestershire in March, and maybe something completely different to Manchester!
