Focused on people

PLASA Focus is intentionally more intimate than larger international exhibitions. That means more time for real conversations, easier access to suppliers and manufacturers, and a relaxed atmosphere where questions are encouraged.

It’s a place where students can speak directly to professionals, and where experienced practitioners can share knowledge without the overwhelm of a packed show floor.

Focused on technology

You’ll find a broad mix of entertainment technology on display, from established brands to emerging solutions.

With capped stand sizes and a more intimate layout, PLASA Focus puts the emphasis on conversation rather than spectacle - offering more one-to-one time with brand representatives and a more personal, informative experience overall.

Focused on learning

Alongside the exhibition, PLASA Focus delivers a strong programme of seminars, talks and practical sessions led by industry experts.

Topics are shaped around real-world challenges and opportunities, supporting everyone from those entering the industry to established businesses and freelancers looking to adapt and grow.
