In order to reflect the fast pace of technological development and innovation in the entertainment and events markets, the Trophée Louis Jouvet will be awarded at the show, honouring the most original innovation of the year, in a ceremony at the Espace Label des Prestataires on Tuesday 3 February at 6.00p.m.
Specialized audio technologies will be presented in the Espace Audio. This year, SIEL is highlighting line array systems, and a number of brands will be taking advantage of the exhibition to show their systems. For the live entertainment and events sectors, SIEL is offering four high-level conferences in partnership with the SYNPASE (Syndicat des Prestatair
The Hire and Live Events department was recently responsible for the creative design and technical management of seven major events over three weeks. One of these included a 1920s themed event for a 60th birthday celebration. "Centred around the art deco period, this was a great event to work on," commented technical director Mike Naish. "Our team was involved from the very start of the planning stages. We designed the invitations, set, lighting
The decision was made by show director Roger Fox, supported by the Show's administrators, Pandemonium Productions Ltd, headed by Simon Garrett. According to the ABTT, the new cost-effective exhibition packages available exclusively in The Assembly Halls are ideal for new exhibitors, particularly key service and educational organizations. Roger Fox says: "ABTT Theatre Show is a unique forum and is a vital technical showcase for professionals in theatre and auditoria. By encouraging new exhibitors from areas such as PA/VA, video and building services, the show broadens its appeal. We're confident that The Assembly Hall will add value to show as a whole."

The conference includes the detailed unveiling of the new IOSH / PSA Safety Passport Scheme. A Safety Passport works like any other passport, say the PSA; in this case it identifies the holder as having undertaken basic health and safety awareness training and allows access to "passport controlled" workplaces. Many industries insist that workers hold a Safety Passport before they can gain access to the workplace or even obtain work.
The AGM starts at 10am, and is followed by the Conference beginning at 11am. Lunch is served at 1pm and it is envisaged that the finishing time will be around 2.3
The company says the decision has been taken because, with under three months to go before the event, the organization does not have sufficient critical mass and quality to ensure the fair would be on the same high-quality level as its many other shows. By postponing Scenotech, Reed Exhibitions claims it is also "responding to the demand of major business and institutional agents in the sector, who are complaining that there are too many international events organized for this year."
Reed Exhibitions had previously re-scheduled the event from the original dates

The two-day technical programme will cover all areas of workplace lighting including: energy efficiency, visual comfort and health, standards, design and installation. Over 20 of the world's leading experts on lighting will be speaking at the event.
On the morning of the third day there will be a colloquium (debate) to formulate SLL policy recommendations for lighting in the workplace. This will provide a unique opportunity for delegates to have their say on lighting issues, in particular the latest EU standards. The results will be fed into a joint SLL/LIF task group on the be
The show featured dance and music - from rap to classical Indian - plus various fusions and theatrical performance. Lighting designer Andrew Keighley, an Entec regular, lit the event for the second year running, and with no stage set apart from some basic props, the visual impact was all down to the application of lights.
He chose a series of simplistic, bold and colourful looks that were ideal for mixing and matching for quick and effective improvisational techniques. There was no time for a full rehearsal or run though, and for lighting in particular, this meant a heavy reliance on Keighley's intuition and busking
Highlights of the evening included the presentation of The Editor's Award to video director Dick Carruthers, made by Led Zeppelin rock legend Jimmy Page. This year's Lifetime Contribution Award went to the original founder of Brilliant Stages, Charlie Kail - presented to him by Brian Croft - and Robbie Williams' tour manager Andy Franks picked up a personal award, plus an
This year, in tandem with the Graduate Exhibition, the college is also launching its Sponsors' Trade show. During the same two days in March the New Athenaeum Theatre will be turned over to RSAMD's industry sponsors and suppliers enabling them to demonstrate and discuss their most recent equipment and products with prospective clients and visitors to the Academy. Companies such as Autograph Sales, VLPS Lighting Services, Rope Assemblies, Crosby Europe, Rosco, Zero 88 and Lyon Equipment Ltd will be talking part.
This is an opportunity for people to meet the RSAMD's staff, students and industry supporters as well as seeing what is happening at one of the fore
The rotary-style CP-6210 program music mixer, an update of classic mixer designs, and its companion CP-6220 expander/crossfader, use the same components found in Crest Audio's top-of-the-range FOH consoles. Both are designed for use in either installation or portable applications such as nightclubs, DJ racks, restaurants and rental rigs.
The CPS-1203 is a full-spectrum enhancement system that produces strong low end, while adding clarity and definition to most audio sources. Applications range from individual mixer channels to live mixes of pre-recorded audio.
The CPT Series of loudspeakers claim "crisp h
The consoles are configurable for either FOH or monitor use, the Group/Aux changeover switch allowing the choice of any combination of the aux outputs to be controlled via a 100mm fader including insert point. This flexibility is supported by the front panel Aux EQ defeat switch - when pressed, any auxes assigned pre fader will be sent pre EQ.

Secondly, significant sound reinforcement product announcements are now as much a part of this show as they are of Frankfurt's ProLight+Sound beano - which itself grew out of the MusikMesse's MI roots. Perhaps NAMM - busier this year than for several - could begin to steal a march on the German show's pro audio pretensions, as a p
