No Signal, No Party – Setting Up Reliable Networks for Festivals & Events

In today’s live productions, everything depends on the network. Lighting, audio, video, and control systems are all interconnected — and when the network fails, the show stops.

In this practical, demo-driven session, Kristof Nys shows how to build a robust and reliable festival network using Luminex GigaCore switches. You’ll learn how to design a network infrastructure that can confidently handle multiple disciplines and protocols simultaneously, while maintaining stability, performance, and ease of use. From structuring your topology to managing traffic and ensuring redundancy, this session focuses on real-world deployment strategies for complex event environments. Discover how to create a network that is not only powerful, but also intuitive to manage under pressure.

Additionally, we demonstrate how LumiCore enables seamless switching between guest consoles — ensuring fast, trouble-free changeovers between artists and productions without compromising your core setup.

Whether you’re working in festivals, touring, or fixed installations, this session provides the insights and tools needed to build networks you can trust — because in live production, there’s one rule: no signal, no show.
