Guide To The Annual Plasa Exhibition

September sees the Plasa09 Show open at Earls Court Exhibition Centre. The Plasa show is an exhibition for the technologies behind visual entertainment, mass-attended special events and various other types of installations. Plasa 09 is when the industry can show off its latest innovations in light and sound and numerous other technologies required for live shows.

This year, Plasa09 will provide exhibition stands to more than 300 exhibitors across two halls at Earls Court. Within the exhibition there will be sessions for specialist AV training and various other seminars and workshops. Plasa 09 is the industry showcase where new products and innovations are introduced to the audio visual world and discussed over drinks in the halls' central bar area.

Plasa is the principal forum for organisations that supply services and technologies to the entertainment live event industry. Plasa has a worldwide membership and is leading the way in developing qualifications for this technology sector and in lobbying for the interests of its membership. Anther aspect of Plasa's involvement with entertainment and events technologies is exemplified by the publication of magazines such as Lighting & Sound America and Lighting & Sound International. In a digital format, Lighting & Sound International is available for free download enabling producers and buyers of events and exhibition technologies to keep up to speed with the market. A searchable online archive will be developed for sourcing by registered users. Within the new digital edition there will be scope for organisations to advertise and to be sure of reaching a narrowly targeted audience. Ads will also benefit from live web links allowing interested parties the ease with which to connect.

The Plasa Show is the epicentre where people who believe in effective and innovative communication can come together and see what's new in the industry. Producers of rock concerts that require specialist lighting and sound systems mingle with producers of major corporate events and international sales conferences. Plasa is an exhibition where the methods of communication to a large audience are more important than the content. The Film and TV industries are always looking at ways to be faster, more effective and possibly even cheaper in creating amazing audio and visual effects.

Plasa 09 is a must for organisers of live events who are looking to create magic at a concert in a public park, or within a stadium packed with thousands of screaming fans, or in a conference centre where the business is selling, or in an entertainment forum where the AV systems must support and not dominate the message.

The Plasa Show is coming to town and the latest LED innovations and wireless technologies together with numerous other electrical wonders will be on display this September in the Earls Court Exhibition Centre.
