IBC and PLASA always indicate we have reached the busy time of the year, and 2018 is no different. Returning from my 23rd IBC, I had several conversations ringing in my ears. Notably because they repeated the same familiar (and frustrating) comments that I have heard from the same people for a quarter of a...Read More
Once again Adamantean undertook a whirlwind tour of this year’s PLASA Show, due to its perennially frustrating date clash with IBC Show in Amsterdam.

Some will be potential customers considering financing your next equipment purchase and some of you will think it’s useful to know we’re here, but finance is probably not for you. If you fall into either of the latter...Read More
On the tube on the way home from the Media Production Show, I found myself comparing trade shows, and pondering what I need and expect from them.
