‘The Show is a favourite place for companies to launch ground-breaking innovations to an international market,’ says Events Manager Sophie Atkinson. ‘There’s a real opportunity for companies to make a big splash and our exhibitors are taking full advantage of that.

‘The past few years at the Plasa Show have seen the industry’s standout audio, lighting, video and stage technology products receive their international débuts,’ she adds. ‘From the high -profile mixing console launches of 2008 and 2009 to the advance of ever more sophisticated line array technology, networking protocols and signal processing in audio, Plasa has witnessed some impressive firsts. In lighting, we’ve seen the ongoing convergence of lighting and video, new-generation lighting consoles and the latest fixtures and modular LED set elements. From the world’s first LED screens to the newest in lightweight mesh-style tourable displays, Plasa is the place to see it.’

The interest in attending has been matched by an increase in stand bookings: ‘And that’s the secret of The Plasa Show,’ Atkinson says, ‘it gives people a chance to see what’s going on in every sector surrounding their own: they share expertise, get ideas and formulate best practice. It’s what all great exhibitions are about.’
