Exact visitor figures will be released in due course, following the independent ABC Audit of the figures. However, early indications are that PLASA '06 may even have surpassed last year's PLASA Show (which was memorable for its frenetic business activity) with a notable increase in visitor numbers, and a very strong international attendance.
Many of the exhibitors that the PLASA Media team spoke to across during the four days of the show praised both the quality of the customers they had been seeing, and the large numbers of international visitors from all around of the world. Despite a relatively 'quiet' Sunday - perhaps due in large part to the blistering late summer weather that London was enjoying - the overall view of the show was positive, with the Monday and Tuesday bringing exceptional crowds and a tangible buzz of activity.
The October issue of Lighting&Sound International magazine will carry a comprehensive report on the news from the show floor, while the show's visitor figures will be revealed here at www.lsionline.co.uk as soon as they become available.
