The Behind the Scenes Happy Hour, hosted by PLASA, are now on sale to the public. The biggest pre-LDI party of the year will take place on Thursday, October 22, from 6:00 - 8:00pm at the Westgate Las Vegas. Tickets are $60 each and includes an open bar, hors d'oeuvres, and music and all proceeds go to benefit the Behind the Scenes charity, the only industry charity that provides grants to ill or injured entertainment technician professionals. Due to the success of the Behind the Scenes Happy Hour last year, tickets are expected to sell quickly.

The goal of Behind the Scenes Happy Hour is not only to throw a great party, but also to raise money for the Behind the Scenes charity, which provides financial support to entertainment technology professionals when they are ill or injured or to their surviving family members. Funds are granted which can be used towards medical care, basic living costs, and funeral expenses. Behind the Scenes, an initiative of the PLASA Foundation, brings help and hope in times of great need.
