light show / bringing to light


Explanation:
depends on the context really, bringing to light old works of art or books, (literally, to put into the light). Take something out of a dark cupboard, dusting off and putting on a shelf can be 'mise en lumière'

your "lighting effects" is best


Explanation:
Mise en lumière refers to "artistic", and at time "dynamic" lighting of heritage buildings, Cathedrals etc. It is NOT "illumination" in the sence of providing a bright, safe environment. Therefore, in the context of conferences I would suggest that your "lighting effects" is best.
