February 5–7, 2027  ·  Disney's Coronado Springs Resort

🎉 Five years of lighting magic

The 2027 Academy marks our 5th year — and what started as a small gathering of passionate creators has grown into one of the most anticipated lighting education events in the industry. Last year we sold out completely. This year, we expanded to meet the demand.

Three days. Three tracks. One unforgettable experience at Disney.

🎓 Three tracks. Your level. Your pace.

For 2027 we added a brand-new Intermediate track based on your feedback, giving every attendee a path that fits exactly where they are.

🍽️ What's included

• Three full days of hands-on instruction
• Disney-catered meals throughout the event
• Access to all classes within your chosen track
