PLASA Focus Glasgow 2016 returns to the SECC with another distinguished seminar
programme that will deliver two days of free pro-audio and lighting presentations
discussing the latest technologies for the live entertainment technology industry.
Thought provoking speakers include Grant Anderson, the Scottish Lighting Designer,
in collaboration with lighting, AV and sound specialists Black Light who designed the
popular “Botanic Nights – 2015’, a unique night-time experience. Grant Anderson
explains how the light installation evoked an emotive reaction from the audience.
Anderson comments: “In Scotland, it’s often said that you can experience four
seasons in one day. Visitors to Botanics Lights have been able to experience four
seasons in just one night. It made perfect sense to me to combine nature and light
with seasonal changes as the three are inextricably linked. Visitors yearning for the
colours and sounds of summer, or any other season, were given the power to
influence the light installations before them, and to experience a deeper
connectivity with the natural surroundings.’
Audio highlights include Nexo’s Stuart Kerrison and Orbital Sound presenting
“Modular PA design. The way to maximise your ROI?’ as they explore how PA
system designs have evolved and how rental companies should choose the right
design for them. Another audio session will be presented by Warehouse Sound
Services and d&b audiotechnik on “Line Arrays Unravelled’ discussing the pros and
cons of using line array directivity technology.
The second edition of PLASA Focus Glasgow has attracted more than 50 brands
including Robe, Elation, White Light, ETC, Le Maitre, Avolites, Impact Products,
Black Light, and many other leading manufacturers and distributors.
Christopher Toulmin, Director of Events adds: “PLASA Focus Glasgow has been
received by the industry as the only show in Scotland offering visitors the chance to
meet some of the region’s designers, engineers, product specialists and end-users
whilst seeing some of the latest product releases and engaging with PLASA’s popular
free seminar programme. The announcement from VisitScotland investing in a new
ten-year “collaborative strategy’ to grow Scotland’s 3.5 billion events industry, has
reinforced the need for the Focus show to showcase the latest technologies for the
events industry.
Other highlights from the programme include Adlib – who recently acquired EFX
Audio and opened their Scottish venture – hosting a demo facility with L-Acoustics
and Soundcraft on Wednesday 20th January enabling attendees the opportunity to
trial their latest products. Both L-Acoustics and Soundcraft will be providing
dedicated seminars and their experts will be available for hands on advice.
