WIL SOcial Roulette #4
8 December 2020, 5pm GMT
Following on from the massive success of our first 3 events we are taking this one global - no geographical aim, just join from everywhere. This event on Tuesday December 8th is aimed at lighting designers and in the festive spirit we will be giving away some amazing Women in Lighting T-shirt prizes to participants selected on the random wheel of fortune! We are sorry to limit this to lighting designers only but we are planning a manufacturers only event early in the new year which we hope will create some interesting and thought provoking exchanges.

A note
It’s a difficult time for planning and most of the WIL plans for 2020 have been put on hold but along with our sponsor formalighting, we will do our best to keep the network moving.
Some of the network have put forward things/ideas they would like to develop. Here is a list. If anyone is interested, please get in touch.
- Creating a green policy that we can work on together.
- Finding a way to share information about internships internationally.
- Creating a moodboard of light from all the countries represented.
- Translating posts into your language.
- Linking up to charity projects.
We really hope that everyone is safe and that the world is able to return to normal soon.
