Light Up the North: Symposium Coordinator

Light, Art & Cities Symposium – The impact of Light Festivals on cities and its residents.

The Light Up the North Network & Light Night Leeds are looking for a symposium coordinator to design, implement and event manage the programme. The coordinator will be responsible for the smooth running of the event and subsequent fringe activities.

From initial planning and liaison with clients to coordination of people and activities on the day they will be responsible for communicating with partners, suppliers and presenters, and ensure that event sponsors and delegates have a satisfactory conference that meets their objectives.

The Light Up the North network would like to invite delegates from around the world to discuss and review the impact of Light Festivals on cities.

The day will be divided into 4 themes: place, artist, audience and sustainability. The symposium is aimed about artists, organisations, venues, producers, the commercial sector and local authorities.
