PLASA AGM and Members' Day 2018
PLASA held our annual AGM and Members' Day on May 31st 2018 at the Royal College of Physicians in London.
We presented our best accounts in over a decade, shared members' special projects, and enjoyed a lively, interactive talk with Caroline Russell from The Ideas Centre Group.
Thank you to all the members and guests who attended and contributed to such a successful day.
Update on proposed EU Eco-Design lighting regulation
The EU's proposed Eco-Design Working Plan 2016-2019 will require all stage lighting to meet new efficiency targets in line with domestic and office lighting. The regulation would dramatically impact all areas of entertainment lighting and those who work in this field.
A group of professionals from across member organisational, manufacturers and designers in the live entertainment industry had a very productive meeting in Brussels on 17 May on the issue. As a result, we have agreed to channel our work into seeking to draft a specific, technically based, exemption for lighting uses in the Stage and Entertainment Industries in the new proposed Eco Regulations planned for 2020.
