(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) NEW YORK, Dec. 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Questex's Live Design International (LDI) announces a strategic partnership with ESTA (Entertainment Services and Technology Association), the premier trade association representing the entertainment technology industry.

The initiative underscores a shared commitment to raising industry standards, fostering continuous learning, and bridging the gap between classroom education and on-the-job expertise.

”We are looking forward to seeing how our two organizations can help each other flourish,” said ESTA Executive Director Erin Grabe.“Having a presence at the LDI Show will undoubtedly help spread ESTA's message to an even larger audience.”

LDI attracts thousands of designers, programmers, technicians, and manufacturers each year to explore cutting-edge solutions in lighting, audio, staging, projection, and immersive technology. ESTA's ANSI-accredited Technical Standards Program, the only accredited standards-writing body for the industry, and Entertainment Technician Certification Program (ETCP), which administers a program of rigorous assessments for professional entertainment technicians, complement LDI's role as the most comprehensive professional training forum in the entertainment design and technology industry in North America.

“LDI has always been about more than showcasing technology-it's about empowering the people who use it,” said Jessi Cybulski, show director, LDI.

Continuing its mission to help develop the next generation of entertainment technology talent, ESTA will now have a table at the LDI Career Fair Lounge, where students and young professionals can meet ESTA members and talk to them about how to grow their careers in the industry.

As part of this partnership, LDI will offer ETCP renewal credits for qualifying sessions at the LDI Institute, and ESTA will have key visibility at the LDI Show as a partner, helping to spread ESTA's vision of an inclusive, thriving entertainment industry strengthened through connection, education, and empowerment.
