PLASA@Sea Pavilion Showcased Entertainment Technology Exhibitors

For the first time, the Seatrade Exhibition featured a pavilion devoted exclusively to lighting and sound technology. The PLASA@Sea pavilion was sponsored by PLASA, the Professional Lighting and Sound Association, a United Kingdom-based trade association for manufacturers and distributors of lighting, sound, staging and projection products.

Among the PLASA@Sea participants were Thomas Gregor Associates, Harbor Marine Systems, Xilver, MAVCO, Martin Professional, Stage Technologies, Barbizon Lighting, Canford Audio, Alcore McBride, Rosebrand and Snowmasters.

"We have featured exhibitors from the lighting and sound industry for many years," said Michael Kazakoff, vice president of CMP Princeton Inc., the show organizers. "But as the technology has developed and the equipment for shipboard applications has become so specialized, it made sense to gather them together in one pavilion."
