T his year was the show’s 10th anniversary, with guests and exhibitors alike celebrating a ten year run for the unmissable regional show. Across the two days, visitors had the chance to see the latest products and technologies from over 100 exhibitors, ranging from lighting, staging and audio and everything in between. An insightful seminar programme was in full swing, with guests catching up on the latest industry news, advice and campaigns.
Exhibiting on Stand N-B17, we had an awesome time running through Current RMS’s capabilities and showing stand visitors how to run their rental business from one convenient location: the cloud. As always, it was great to see so many awesome customers and new faces, catching up with everything Current RMS and to gain valuable feedback from our users. The two days of the show flew by!
We also had the chance to give visitors to our stand a sneak peek of our newest feature, Do a Deal. Due to be released soon (keep your eyes peeled!), this new user-requested feature allows users to set a deal price to a whole job, or individual groups within a job.
Really handy for neatening off a total cost when sending proposals to clients and rounding a figure up or down to an agreed deal price, the feedback we received on stand was overwhelmingly positive. With just final testing to go, we can’t wait to release this feature soon!
Latest Equipment For The Pro-AV, Lighting and Staging Industry
Across the two exhibition halls, popular exhibitors included well-known manufacturers Robe, d&b audiotechnik, Doughty Engineering and more, with visitors checking in with key suppliers. Brand new industry products were showcased on impressive stands, including ETC’s Element 2 console and EM Acoustics’ new EMS-41 compact loudspeaker, to name a couple. It was also a great chance for smaller businesses to thrive; the show was a hub of activity and the perfect opportunity for local companies to catch up on industry developments.
As always, PLASA had an impressive seminar programme in action, with a number of high quality industry sessions held by key industry figures. Popular talks included an insight into the hectic life working as a technician at a festival, with anecdotes from seasoned professionals, including Philip Norton of Ambersphere Solutions. There was also the opportunity to learn more about the #SaveStageLighting movement, founded in response to the proposed EU Eco-design Working Plan for 2016-2019. It was explained in detail during the talk by those involved, along with the implications the proposed eco-design changes would have on the industry.
