Announcing PLASA Focus: Austin 2012

PLASA Events, an operating division of PLASA -- the lead international membership body for those who supply technologies and services to the event, entertainment and installation industries - has announced its first regional event in North America. PLASA Focus: Austin 2012 will be held February 22-23, 2012 at the Renaissance Austin, Texas.

Modeled after the highly successful PLASA Focus: Leeds (UK), which recently broke previous attendance records in its third year, Focus: Austin will bring together members of the entertainment technology community to do business and network in a relaxed and friendly setting.

The two-day show will be reasonably priced for exhibitors and free to registered visitors. A unique hard wall booth package -- including furniture, power and lighting -- will level the playing field and give exhibitors a simple and affordable exhibiting experience. The show's regional focus will also allow exhibitors to reach visitors who might not attend larger industry events. Likewise, visitors will have an opportunity to experience and interact firsthand with industry-leading equipment and services without having to travel far from home.

Lori Rubinstein, PLASA's North American executive director says, "These unique PLASA Focus events will provide regional opportunities for companies to give more of their staff a chance to see new products, receive training and network with vendors and peers. They also offer dealers, rental houses and production companies, as well as manufacturers, a terrific and inexpensive vehicle to reach new and existing customers in their own backyard."

Jackie Tien, PLASA's media and events director, echoes the sentiment. "We look forward to offering our industry colleagues fresh, new business, and networking opportunities through PLASA Focus: Austin and our ongoing PLASA Focus U.S. events."

PLASA members will receive substantially reduced pricing on exhibit space.
