Plasa Events 2008 ,September 7 to 10

As we head towards the end of 2007, PLASA Events reports buoyant bookings for the 2008 event with over 55 per cent of stand space already confirmed.

Show Director Nicola Rowland says: "Just six weeks since the show, we already have over half our stand space rebooked and there are strong levels of interest from new exhibitors on the back of seeing the redrawn 2007 show.

"We're looking at three particular areas for further development at PLASA08 to enhance the experience for both exhibitors and visitors.

"One message that came across very powerfully from our various research exercises was how much people value the opportunity to network at PLASA, so we're studying ways to develop the networking experience. We're also working on extending the show's special features and there's a lot of work going on to ensure we deliver a strong educational programme.

"The expansion into Earls Court 2 was a bold move for everybody and has been generally very positively received, and we are working on new plans to develop the two hall layout - along with making more stand space available for those who want to make the move into Earls Court 2 next year.

"A further improvement for PLASA08 will be to our ticketing and marketing, including early distribution of exhibitors' complimentary guest tickets."

The PLASA Events team is also using its independence to offer more flexible branding and sponsorship opportunities than in the past and welcomes suggestions and creative ideas from members - so please call and the team will do all it can to support these opportunities.

Meanwhile, plans are under development for the provisionally titled 'PLASA North', when PLASA Events takes over the A.C. Lighting North trade show immediately after the 2008 event.

"It's really exciting to be expanding our portfolio of events to create more benefits and business opportunities for PLASA members and we will be liaising with everyone to ensure a smooth transition. A year into PLASA Events' existence we are already looking at other ideas and opportunities that will help us better serve the market with events run by and for the industry."

About Brussels

Brussels, the capital of Belgium and the administrative centre of the European Union, has the enviable title of the Capital of Europe. Brussels, character comes from the coexistence of French and Flemish culture, and it is nowadays home to nationalities around the world, adding a cosmopolitan flavour to its atmosphere.
The vibrant atmosphere of Brussels is further enhanced by picturesque medieval streets, lively squares, beautiful boulevards, impressive monuments, spacious parks, cosy cafés, interesting restaurants and an active cultural life.

Brussels, unlike Paris, doesn't set out to make you love it; rather, it sits back and allows you to do the wooing.The secret is to take time getting under its skin and slowly embracing its uniquely muddled character. The centre is divided into the Lower and Upper Towns. The Lower town is centred around the magnificent Grand Place and still follows a vaguely medieval form, with its narrow, atmospheric streets. The Grand Place itself,a wide-open cobbled medieval square of elegant guild houses, is one of Brussels few set-piece attractions. There is a daily flower market on the square (Mar-Oct), sometimes with concerts, and a sonnet lumière display in the evenings.

The bars, restaurants and nightspots of St-Géry take on a life of their own in the summer months, when the buzz is thickly atmospheric. Even in winter, die-hards sit on the terraces under electric heaters. Ste-Catherine, the town's port area before the river was landfilled in the 1870's, is lined with seafood restaurants serving up dishes of lobster,mussels and oysters. Immediately north of the Grand Place you'll find the Ilot Sacré, an evocative tangle of narrow streets that are filled with restaurants. South, amid the tourist shops in rue de l'Etuve, is the little statue of the urinating Manneken-Pis - the symbol of Brussels.

The Upper Town doesn't lack for attractions either: there's the Royal Quarter, with the palace and the royal park leading through to the Belgian Parliament. The Musées Royaux des Beaux-Arts gives an overview of Belgian and old Flemish art.Don't miss the Musée des Instruments de Musique, set in a beautifully restored art nouveau department store. East of the Royal Quarter is the Parc du Cinquantenaire, with Belgium's Arc de Triomphe and vast museum complexes.

So, looking to the importance of the exhibition and brussels being a very nice place to be visited , this exhibition cannot be afforded to be missed.
