Meanwhile, ETC's latest lighting control desk, Element, created a buzz, with associate regional manager for UK and Ireland Jeremy Roberts kept busy both days of the event giving demonstrations. The desk, which is based on Eos software, is a replacement for ETC's Express line of desks and is aimed at smaller theatrical venues and schools that depend on single desk operators or volunteer staff.
ETC's market manager for Europe, Erik Larsen, says, "We were delighted with the attendance at the show and with the attention given to our products. PLASA Focus's roots as a small, friendly show were very much in evidence, given the number of people who were happy to come and chat or browse without the time pressures of other, larger, shows."
