The importance of lighting at a professional event

Bright or dim, white or yellow, cool or warm, LED or neon… Lighting plays a crucial role in a professional event.

For a private screening or a presentation in a Kinepolis Business auditorium, we offer the opportunity to create a unique and immersive atmosphere.

Discover various insights and tips on the subject.

1. Shine a light on your event

Lighting plays a key role in a professional event.

Lighting can be used to highlight your products, drawing the attention of attendees to what you want to showcase.

It can also help create a relaxing atmosphere for a yoga workshop, for example, or a more festive vibe for a cocktail reception.

During a private screening in a cinema hall, lighting helps set an immersive ambiance. Once the movie starts, only subtle lights remain on, allowing guests to move safely in the dark and easily locate emergency exits.

Lighting is not just functional—it is a communication tool that enhances your company’s image, amplifies your message, and makes your event unforgettable. In other words, lighting is a key player in your events.

2. How to create the perfect ambience

What type of event are you organizing? What are your objectives? What reactions do you want to evoke in your guests? Answering these questions will help you better define your lighting needs.

► Lighting Tailored to Your Event

Would you like to host an exclusive film screening in one of our auditoriums? Soft and dimmed lights will set the mood. If you are renting one of our reception spaces for a social gathering, we can tailor the lighting accordingly.

For a product or service presentation, we can “play” with the lighting to highlight speakers or direct guests’ attention to specific elements.

For your conference, we can set up lighting in your company’s colors to reinforce brand identity and allow guests to immediately recognize the hues associated with your logo.

► LED, Projectors… A Wide Range of Possibilities

To create the perfect atmosphere, a variety of lighting options are available:

• LED (circles, balloons…)
• Projectors
• Colored lights
• String lights
• Holograms
• Drones
• Video mapping
• Gobos or projected patterns…

Simply tell us what you envision for your event.

► A Task for Experts

When planning event lighting, several factors must be considered, such as:

• The type of event
• The venue (number of power outlets, energy capacity, backup solutions…)
• The needs and expectations of the organizing company…

As you can see, this is a task best entrusted to professionals. At Kinepolis Business, we offer an all-in-one service.

Our auditoriums and reception spaces are equipped with lighting solutions suited for all types of events (including LED spotlights in various colors).

Additionally, to shine a spotlight on your event, we offer:

• Digital totems

3. Professional event and lighting : our tips

Lighting is an integral part of your event’s staging and must be carefully planned. Work with trusted providers like Kinepolis Business to ensure an event that truly shines!

→ Impress your audience, but don’t blind them! Your event lighting should be well-balanced to avoid straining guests’ eyes.

→ As mentioned earlier, adapting lighting to your event format is essential. Strobe lights at a private screening wouldn’t be the best choice.

→ We can advise you on the best lighting options for your specific event.

→ The number of attendees and the size of the venue should also be factored into your lighting setup.

→ Consider the environmental impact of your choices.

→ Don’t forget about natural light! A professional event doesn’t have to rely solely on artificial lighting. After your indoor event, take advantage of the natural brightness offered by our large windows and bay windows in our reception areas.
