PLASA 2011: InfoComm to Host Education Sessions

InfoComm International will continue its program of support for the UK's AV rental and staging community when it hosts a range of education sessions at this year's PLASA Show, September 11-14 at Earls Court, London.

The sessions will take place at Earl's Court on Monday and Tuesday, September 12-13. They will be led by Andre LeJeune, CTS, InfoComm's rental and staging staff instructor, who has more than 30 years' experience of staging and presentation and has been responsible for many large-scale productions for corporate clients around the world.

Topics covered will include "Lighting for Video in the Large Meeting Environment," "Audio Techniques for Corporate AV Events," and "Project Management for Stage Labor." Each session will last 90 minutes and will earn attendees 1.5 RUs (renewal units) toward continued InfoComm CTS certification. All sessions are free to attend.

Chris Lavelle, InfoComm regional manager, UK and Ireland, comments: "While much of the focus of PLASA is on theatre and entertainment, our education sessions throw the spotlight on the equally creative -- and lucrative -- world of corporate meetings, launches, and similar events. Following feedback from our members, each course has been crafted to give it a distinctly European focus and flavor, and this, combined with Andre's vast global hands-on experience in this market, gives our PLASA education a unique appeal."

As in previous years, InfoComm will also have its own stand at PLASA, providing a convenient meeting-point for members and non-members alike to socialize, network, and exchange ideas. The stand's location in Hall 2 (Stand 2-Q30) is the same as in 2010.

Lavelle concludes: "The PLASA show always brings us closer to the UK's live-events community and we are looking forward to an educational, businesslike, and entertaining four days at Earls Court next month."
