Summer '22 - Time to recharge for Autumn

It’s been a busy few months with the return of ISE and Infocomm, both of which reported better than expected turn-out and both of which, in our view, proved to be useful and interesting events.

Along with last Novembers Stadium Business and Design show in Manchester UK, the ISE event in Barcelona and InfoComm Las Vegas demonstrated that stadiums, retails centres and entertainment venues continue to be planned, designed, financed and built.

Despite concerns about global supply chain shortages and shipping costs multiplying ten-fold, the LED and AV industries continue to be finding demand is close to pre-pandemic levels.

The challenge for many businesses seems to be focused on increased costs for energy and fuel along with limited availability of people with industry experience.

Kronman Associates is pleased to be offering business consultancy, alongside our usual LED consultancy, to several new and growning businesses in the UK, EMEA and USA. Each of the companies we’re working with is finding new opportunities to reach out to customers who want reliable, honest and dedicated partners who can deliver more than just hardware or integration. These companies and their clients are looking for partners to work with for the long term.

Give us a call or send an email from our contact page on this site. We’d love to hear what you’re up too.

IBC and PLASA shows deliver great ideas and products

Attending two trade shows in 3 days is quite a challenge but this year proved to be a worthwhile challenge.

IBC has expanded to 14 halls of the RAI venue in Amsterdam as well as the outdoor sites for screens, production vehicles and studios. We understand that attendance was great and from what we say Saturday and Sunday it was as busy as ever.

It was interesting to see all of the content creation, storage and transport solutions on offer, next to the camera's, production equipment and display hardware all in one place. It looks like real 4K content will finally be available to everyone very soon. 

PLASA was held for the second year at Olympia in London. We visited on Monday and were pleased to see how busy the show floor was.

Positive interaction between the entertainment and AV world was on show with many different lighting and video solutions sharing space with staging, sound and theatre solutions. PLASA is returning to it's best as a networking and showcase event where everyone involved in stage, production and events can talk and share ideas. 

PLASA Focus Glasgow. Great opportunities. Great meetings.

Our trip to @PLASAFocus in Glasgow was a resounding success. Meetings with our colleagues @ScotraeProductionsLtd, along with @ElectonicTheatreControls, Autographsound and @Feltech were great. We were also pleased to discuss opportunities with our colleagues at Lombard Technical Services @LombardAF. 

Well done to @PLASAonline and @LSIonline.
