UK - The PLASA Show (18-20 September) has begun its run-up to the 2016 event with the opening of online visitor registration and the announcement that this year's highly valued PLASA Awards for Innovation is now open for nominations. This year the PLASA Show will make the highly popular move back to the heart of West London, in its former September timeline, and reintroducing the show party, which will take place at a venue on King's Road on the Monday night. Full details of PLASA 2016's industry-leading Seminar Programme will be launched soon hosting topics from world-class designers, production teams and consultants involved with some of the world's best known venues, prolific tours and major global entertainment and sporting events taking place this year.

The Rigging Conference will run alongside the PLASA Show on Monday 19th September. With the opening key-note from well-known rigger and founder of Stage Rigging Inc. - Rocky Paulson - the one-day programme will also feature sessions looking at the chain of responsibilities involved in staging a production and an in-depth look into the complex discipline of performer flying. The full programme and delegate registration will be available shortly.

The PLASA Awards for Innovation will again attract visitors to the Innovation Gallery. Any products - whether lighting, sound, video, staging, effects, software or any associated product area - which meet the criteria for Innovation, can be entered into the Awards. However, product can only be entered by an exhibitor at PLASA 2016, or by a member company of the PLASA organisation. In either case, the nominating company must be the original manufacturer or its official representative. Once again, a team of respected industry brains representing a range of technical and design disciplines will be visiting the nominees' stands and assessing the entries. The winners will be announced on the Monday evening of the show.

More information will be available online soon: in the meantime, to register your interest in entering the PLASA Awards for Innovation, please email: awards@plasashow.com
