News Image
PLASA Focus Baltimore has been described as a "success" by organisers, after a weekend show that boasted 600 attendees and a range of seminars held by industry experts.

Frank Brault, Industry Product Specialist at Nemetschek Vectorworks said: "We met with all of the regional contacts we were hoping to connect with. It’s been a fantastic show."
Phil Ion, Director of CORE Lighting, added: "We saw a wide variety of interested customers from a much wider geographical area than we expected, and all quality leads. It’s been well worth exhibiting."
"It has been a great opportunity to share our new products with dealers and end users, and I was also able to widen my professional network," said Rob Signom, Technical Director at Rosco.
David Venus, Marketing Director at Pixel Flex, added: "PLASA Focus is a great format to connect and engage with potential clients on a more personal level. We will definitely be back to exhibit in the future."
A number of new products were on display, including ETC’s Source Four LED Series 2 Lustr; Yamaha’s QL1 and QL5 digital mixing consoles; Philips Strand Lighting’s Neo lighting console; Elation Professional’s Platinum Spot 35 Pro and Platinum Profile 35 Pro; Clay Paky’s B-Eye K20; MA Lighting's grandMA2 control system and grandMA2 onPC Command Wing; High End Systems' Shapeshifter LED moving head; GLP’s impression X4S and Volkslicht Spot; and the latest additions to Robe Lighting's ROBIN Series.
The Professional Development Program featured lighting designer Richard Pilbrow and award-winning scenic designer Moe Conn. Exhibitor sessions included a presentation on ETC’s approach to LEDs from Tom Littrell; a look at the acoustic signal path between the loudspeaker and listeners’ ears from d&b audiotechnik; and an introduction to Avolites’ Titan software.
Christopher Toulmin, Director of PLASA Events, said: "The PLASA Focus series of events is going from strength to strength. Whilst each new location presents its challenges in terms of audience awareness, the idea and excellent business proposition is now well understood and embraced by the industry, as demonstrated by the strong exhibitor support we enjoy at each show."
The next instalment of the PLASA Focus series takes place in Austin, Texas, on September 9 and 10, 2014, at the Palmer Events Centre.
