“Lighting, projection, and mapping are playing a major role in decor and theme development,” says Lizz Torgovnick, chief creative officer at New York-based event agency Sequence. “Clients are open to these larger-scale digital ideas since they can be seen across the room and fill the space in an immersive way. We’re using it to enhance and amplify the physical decor elements, which is a different way to use their event decor budget.”
