UK - This year the education programme has been relaunched to meet the changing demands of the PLASA visitor and will be hosted by the PLASA Professional Development Programme (PLASA PDP), the Association's new training initiative. A full timetable is now online and taking bookings - check out the website below.

This extended educational platform will examine current trends and issues across the wide range of the industry and provide visitors with the opportunity to broaden their knowledge and learn from the experts. The format has been revised with four different types of sessions - Technical Workshops; Business Seminars; Industry Seminars and Masterclasses.

Many of the sessions are supported by associations, trade bodies and publications and for the first time RIBA (Royal Institute of British Architects) are also supporting the programme. Their endorsement is clear recognition of the increasing importance that audio and lighting now plays within an architect's brief.

Members of PLASA, or any of the supporting associations, can attend the sessions at a discounted rate. Booking before the show also saves you money. For full details of the education programmes log onto the website below or call Marisa Beckman on +44 (0)20 7351 7147. Buy your show ticket (valid for the whole show) and education sessions in advance, save money and get the most from your visit to the show. UK ticket price is £6 (instead of £12 on the door entry price) and International visitors gain free entry.
