With headline sponsors Robe, Clay Paky and TMB, this year's show features over 300 brands, many of which are showing new products and services, and sees PLASA Show adopting the successful 'Focus' model of a sector-specific, zoned layout, which will allow both visitors and exhibitors easier networking and navigation.
Over 50 leading brands from the pro audio sector are in attendance, with many new names joining that list including A.C. Entertainment, Autograph, d&b Audiotechnik, FACE, FBT UK, Flare Audio, POLARaudio, Ten 47, Unity Audio, White Light, Yamaha, SSE Audio and Wigwam Acoustics.
The lighting zone features manufacturers such as Altman, Avolites, Elation, ETC, Laserworld AG, and Robe, which is building on the great success of the Robe Arena at PLASA 2014, whilst many of the larger stand areas, such as Ambersphere Solutions and White Light, feature a host of products from market leading brands.
Other highlights of the show include stands from SES Entertainment, PSCo, TMB, Neutrik, Dataton, d3 Technologies, RC4 Wireless and SLG.
"A key part of PLASA Show 2015 is always the Professional Development Programme seminars," says show director Christopher Toulmin. "These offer an unrivalled educational resource and cover a huge variety of highly informative topics, addressing subjects for everyone from the most experienced practitioners, through to those just starting in the industry."
Sunday session highlights include:
* Soulsound's Audio and Consciousness; Time Aligning Inputs and Outputs; Is Mixing Personal?; Setting Up a Small Business
* What could possibly go wrong? Planning the Eurovision Song Contest 2016 from Ola Melzig, Technical Director, Eurovision 2016 and Fredrik Jönsson, Lighting Designer, Eurovision 2016
* How many lights do you need? The work of the lighting designer on a budget from Chris Withers, Elliot Griggs; Johanna Town, Kelli Zezulka
"The show already has a real energy to it," adds Chris, "and we're looking forward to a successful three days."
