The second edition of PLASA Focus Glasgow 2016 held at the SECC will see 50%
more exhibitors than the inaugural show in 2014. With new exhibitors recently
announced including Bose, Hawthorn, Adlib and UK Rigging, PLASA Focus Glasgow
promises to deliver innovative solutions to the Scottish market.
Visitor highlights include the chance to discover new and exciting products from
over 60 brands in professional audio, AV, lighting, staging and rigging not to
mention two days of free seminars and live demos. Industry leaders exhibiting at
the show will include both manufacturers and distributors including big names such
as Robe, RCF, Chauvet, Elation, Avolites, ETC, TMB and many more.
The recent announcement from VisitScotland shows intent to grow the events
market in Scotland. The investment in a new ten-year “collaborative strategy’ to
develop Scotland’s 3.5 billion events industry aims to build a strong and dynamic
portfolio of events. The strategy – The Perfect Stage – describes how Scotland can
enhance its reputation nationally and internationally underpinning the demand for a
Focus show to display the latest technologies for the live events industry.
PLASA seeks to support the industry in the region as Christopher Toulmin, Director
of Events comments: “We’ve seen a surge of interest in the region, reinforcing the
need to bring the Focus series to Scotland. With large investment in the live events
sector as well as tax incentives for business owners to transfer ownership to
employees, PLASA members and exhibitors support for the show highlights the
increase in business opportunities.’
Enjoying global attention in recent years, live entertainment technology is an
important element of the events hosted in Scotland. Glasgow has recently hosted
word-renowned sporting events with spectacular opening ceremonies as well as live
music and theatre productions placing Scotland’s entertainment technology
professionals on the world’s stage. PLASA Focus Glasgow gives the region access to
solutions for the technical requirements of such high profile and internationally
acclaimed live events.
