Lots of excitement in REMIX Towers today as we revealed the latest speakers. It has been a week of big announcements as we are a part of VIVID Sydney which also launched. If you want to see one of the most beautiful cities in the world bathed in dramatic light installations then come and join us. Especially as Vivid Sydney is set to shine even more brightly in 2015 when the world’s largest festival of light, music and ideas delivers its biggest program yet. For 18 nights, from 22 May – 8 June, Vivid Sydney will again transform the city and harbour.  There  will be over 60 Lighting Installations and Projections.
