your future starts here

Join us to experience what careers backstage in the live entertainment industry really look like!

Experience LIVE (formerly LIVE EVENT CAREER EXPLORATION DAY) is a unique one-day showcase of how to create large scale live productions, such as: concert tours, theatrical shows, amusement park interactions, experiential marketing, sporting events, e-games, and so much more.

These fun and immersive days are perfect for students who love: concerts, festivals, theatre, production, lighting, audio, engineering, sculpture, carpentry, design, computer programming, STEM topics, organization, quick thinking, creative problems solving, cross-team collaboration, networking, innovative solutions and the idea of a non-traditional work path

Two of these unique days are offered every year:

  • In the spring, Rock Lititz hosts a conference for HIGH SCHOOL Juniors + Seniors, as a general introduction to the entertainment industry, and possible paths of study to be ready for a career (spoiler, not all require a four year program!)
  • In the fall, Rock Lititz hosts a conference for COLLEGE STUDENTS + YOUNG PROFESSIONALS , providing a deeper look at live event specialties, with access to gear demonstrations, conversations with industry professionals, and direct interaction with industry employers.

Both Experience LIVE days offer insight on building a career in live events. Custom immersive demonstrations and top production voices offer students a true overview of this diverse and creative industry that blends art and technology for audiences around the world.
