Planet Christmas 2007 Symposium
Gatlinburg, TN - August 2007


In August 2007, we went to Tennessee for a few days to attend the PLUS 2007 Christmas Lighting and Technology conference sponsored by Planet Christmas. There were several hundred lighting enthusiasts from all over the US and even some international visitors. During the course of the conference, there were presentations, tutorials, hands-on labs, vendors, and lots of great ideas that could be adapted for any lighting display.

We came back with several new ideas for the Belardo Lights display. In addition, there were many folks at the conference who frequent the Planet Christmas website forums, so we got to meet many other lighting enthusiasts and engage in some serious display tech-talk.
