Testimonials

Here's what our exhibitors have to say...

Ann Andrews of Funktion One
It was a really successful show for us and we are really pleased to have exhibited. In fact, I'd say it was the best show we have ever done. The quality of enquires and projects was the best ever...

Fabrice Gosnet of Luminex
We never had such a busy exhibition. We had high profile customers who came straight to our booth with specific requests… we also had some good contacts to increase our dealer network.

Fabiano Besio from LDR (Luci Della Ribalta)
The PLASA Show continues to exceed my expectations and has proved once again to be the industry’s leading trade show for the entertainment industry.

Joe Bull, Managing Director, JoeCo
The PLASA Show was phenomenal – far better than I could have hoped.

Scott Foster, General Manager, Triple E
We were impressed by how broad an audience we could reach by attending PLASA09. Having not exhibited for four years we were impressed with the visitor attendance and PLASA09 gave us an opportunity to show our products to an international audience. It was great to be back after a four year break and we learnt about some very exciting overseas projects. It was a pleasure to exhibit at such a well managed, professionally organised show.

Phil Ion of Core Lighting
We had a great experience at PLASA09, both with our main distributor TMB and also with the PLASA organisers we met. Being our first show as a new business we didn't know what to expect but the quality of the leads we got, and the depth of the discussions we had with potential customers was fantastic. Furthermore, our entry into the Innovations Awards generated a lot of interest in the products: I can see this from the amount of web traffic we've had since the launch of the show on Sunday. Certainly this has provided a great springboard as part of the launch strategy for the business and the individual products, so we will certainly be attending next year.

Andrew Richardson, General Manager, Adam Hall
I am delighted with the success of PLASA09. Building on from many recent product launches which include the LD Premium PA equipment and additional flight case hardware, PLASA09 gave us an excellent platform to continue this promotion. We had a steady stream of new and existing customers to our stand from across Europe, which started from show opening to near show closing. This has enabled us to further our client base and penetrate new markets. Without doubt, we will be exhibiting at the PLASA Show next year and look forward to another successful show.

Paul Hinkly, Managing Director, LMC Audio
PLASA09 bucked the trend for LMC with both robust business and even social introductions. The whole LMC team enjoyed meeting our visitors from across all markets and, frankly, after the first half year that this industry has endured, I cannot deny that I was very pleasantly surprised with the response to LMC and its partners.

Ivo Dielen, Managing Director, Goboland
I believe that approximately 50% of our PLASA09 visitors were international, non-UK-based companies and individuals. We made good contacts, for all of our regional offices: Goboland UK, Goboland Middle East and Goboland Belgium.

Lionel Garraud, Sales Director, Robert Juliat
Although the turnout may have been lower than previous years - which is to be expected in the current climate, we noticed a marked improvement in the quality of visitors who came to discuss serious projects. Several new dealers will be appointed as a result of meetings at PLASA09. Consequently, we will be very busy fulfilling our customers' requirements between now and the end of the year. In all we found the show to be a very good experience for Robert Juliat.

Kasper Gissel, Business Director, GLP
PLASA09 proved to be a massive success. The advantages of being able to give a live demonstration of the Impression Zoom's feature -set were clear from the start. This has been a fly-away success.

Mick Hannaford, Managing Director, Robe UK Ltd
I think the organisers did a great job of presenting a good exhibition at a very challenging time. Everyone is talking positively, and we did some real business, actually taking orders on the stand. I am so impressed with the results that I re-booked during the show and we are already planning for next year.

Glyn o'Donoghue, Product Development Director, AC Entertainment Technologies
We had a very good show. Despite a slightly smaller exhibition and attendance this year, the A.C. Entertainment Technologies stand was busy throughout the show duration, with a lot of interest in our new Chroma-Q and Jands lighting products, as well as other new technologies joining our rigging, audio and video product lineups.

Per Hulthen, CEO, Lumen Radio
The interest we have enjoyed after PLASA09 has had us working 24/7 to keep up with customer demand. Winning the PLASA Award for Innovation was a great boost for spreading the word about our new product range.

Rowland Hughes, Commercial Director, ShowCAD
We had a great show – best one in years.

Marc van der Wel, Commercial Director, XLNT
We opted for a new and quite central location this year and found that visitors were serious, and very interested in our new DS8 solid state motor controller and the CyberHoist system. It was very worthwhile.

Ian Cullen, Marketing Director, Sound Technology
This year's PLASA Show was superb for us. In honesty we weren't quite sure what to expect given the current climate but we were overwhelmed by the quantity and, most noticeably, the quality of the visitors to our stand. We saw a huge number of key people from the commercial audio and live sound sectors and there's potential for some very large scale projects off the back of it. Many of the enquiries were from consultants and integrators specifying interest in the new generation of JBL commercial audio speaker ranges.

Matt Lloyd, Managing Director, GDS
PLASA09 was a huge success for GDS. I would say that the PLASA Show is the best show to launch a new product and get the international mix of the industry in one place at one time. We certainly had customers from all continents and at all levels of the industry. It is also an opportunity for us as a company to showcase ourselves on the global market and make a mark, which we did very successfully.

Andy Graves, Director of Sales & Marketing, Pulsar
Pulsar had a very positive experience from this year's PLASA exhibition, the show maintained its importance due to the of high level lighting professionals and international distributors at the show.
