Commencement, graduations, athletic & sport related banquets plus conferences and how to improve the aesthetic of that space using a little LED glow.  College and university graduation is a monumentous occasion, a feat not easily accomplished and a terrific time to celebrate. Loved ones attend and bring their large congratulatory bouquet of flowers or a cash stuffed envelope perhaps? - one can only dream.

There’s a reason why movie directors call for LIGHTS!, first before anything else, it’s all about the mood baby. Lighting really can make or break your event. Today  Aura  is dishing 3 ways to properly use lighting in your event. MOOD/ENERGY You only get one chance to make a lasting impression on your guests and that starts when they walk into the venue.
