UK - One of the more unusual aspects of this year's PLASA Show (12-15 September, Earls Court, London) will be a photographic exhibition celebrating the creative and practical talents of Irish band U2 and their production team. The photographs for the exhibition have been taken from U2 Show - a new, authorized book by Diana Scrimgeour - which covers the entire touring history of the band. The exhibition is part of the PLASA Production Village, located on the Top Deck.

To coincide with the launch of the book, there'll also be an exclusive seminar featuring two of the band's longest-serving touring personnel. Hosted by TPI editor Mark Cunningham, the seminar - Designing for U2 - will feature Willie Williams and Joe O'Herlihy in conversation about their creative and technical involvement with U2, and how advances in technology have been successfully (and ingeniously) applied to deliver the band's constantly evolving performance ethos.

You can register now to attend this session. Pre-registration is £15.00 plus VAT and on the door registration is £20.00 plus VAT. Student tickets are £10.00 plus VAT (with a valid NUS card). The admission price includes a glass of wine on arrival.
