Check out what attendees to previous PLASA Focus events have to say;
"I've been coming to PLASA Leeds and London for as long as I can remember. It is the place where students can see the most bang-up-to-date equipment, talk to the most knowledgeable people and get a real feel for what's actually going on."
"We knew we could come here to try before we buy; you can't do that online or talk to the experts at the same time,"
"Everyone is so friendly and helpful; it doesn't matter if you are looking for a single radio mic or a whole PA system!"
"There's not a better place to check out new products and catch up with friends and colleagues."
"You can't over estimate the value of face time."
Excellent Seminar Programme. Excellent atmosphere on the show floor - now my favourite show for meeting and talking to suppliers.
It is so great to have a regional event, a good show, and a credit to the industry and PLASA.
I achieved all that I planned from my visits and more. In particular, I was most impressed by the seminar program. Thanks for an interesting and informative couple of days.
The regional show was excellent. The chance to have an in-depth look at the products was so refreshing.
I enjoyed the experience and the far more relaxed, less hectic atmosphere. The whole show was a much more pleasant experience for me.
Keep it local, keep it free!
The smaller stands and quieter setting allows better networking and purchasing discussions to take place without having to fight through hundreds of people.
We really enjoyed it! Great to chat to vendors and discover the little details about products that make the difference between which solutions are the best fit for a project.
