Robe Lighting is Platinum Sponsor for the third year running and will mark the occasion by occupying a huge, 1,000 square metre space on the show floor. Robe World - PLASA London's biggest ever stand - promises to deliver a new experience to visitors, while showcasing the manufacturer's range of innovative, high-quality moving lights and digital lighting products for the professional entertainment and leisure, architectural, and themed environment industries.
The stand celebrates Robe's 20th anniversary in the industry and will feature the new Robe Bright Multi-Functional Luminaire (BMFL) Spot, which is being launched at PLASA. It will also host a gala dinner, as industry figures gather to mark the company's achievements over the last two decades. Robe World, located in the Robe Arena and only accessible through its own entrance from Hall 8, will be a "show within the show".
Mick Hannaford from Robe is totally convinced about the value of the show. "Where better to celebrate our 20th year than here in London at PLASA. Through the years this has been THE show that has helped Robe connect with Designers, Buyers and Re-sellers through the world - but most importantly, it's the show that works with the industry - for the industry. We can't imagine being able to bring this sort of size exhibit to any other show - it just couldn't happen without the critical understanding and support of the organiser".
Gold Sponsor, Clay Paky, manufactures professional lighting solutions for television, theatre, and concert touring applications, and has supported PLASA London for many years. Sales & Marketing Director, Pio Nahum, explains why:
"Clay Paky is delighted to be able to offer Gold level sponsorship to the PLASA London 2014. We believe PLASA is an important international showcase for new products, with the UK home to many of the world's most creative and influential lighting designers. Clay Paky's mission is to support such designers in as many ways as is helpful."
"This year in our stand (S80) we will be showing off a number of exciting new products with a totally new presentation format. Top designers and end users should not miss this opportunity to preview our latest lighting innovations that have been developed and fine tuned in response to their feedback. We are quietly confident that these new luminaires will be incorporated into the forefront of this season's lighting design palettes."
