Share some of the nice things people have said about us.
"The seminars are packed with practical insights, and the legal templates alone have saved me hours. Highly recommend joining early in your career."
"I came for the resources — I stayed for the people.
Being part of ELDA gave me access to real pros, honest advice, and a sense of belonging I didn’t expect. It’s more than a network — it’s a home."
“Before ELDA, I mostly worked alone. Now, I have people I can call, ask questions, and share wins with. It’s empowering to know you’re not the only one out there grinding behind the scenes.”
Step into a community that’s got your back — on stage, backstage, and beyond. This is where lighting pros grow together.
