The programme features world-class speakers and is an opportunity for visitors to further develop their industry knowledge, take part in discussions, and have their questions answered.
Planned sessions include Tony Hansen presenting The Evil Duck - LEDs Today, Scott Chmielewski on Mastering the Art of Video and CHAUVET Professional's Jim Hutchison presenting LED Color: The Physiological Experience.
PLASA members, regional dealers, regional production companies and series exhibitors enjoy substantially discounted space at all PLASA Focus events. Each event targets a unique regional audience that does not travel longer distances to national industry events; in addition, PLASA Focus limits the amount of space that exhibitors can take and provides a unique hard-wall booth package - including material handling, power, lighting, carpet, and furniture - so that each exhibitor enjoys a level playing field and a hassle-free, affordable exhibiting experience.
