PLASA Show 2025: Worth it? Every second of it.

PLASA 2025 at London’s Olympia was an incredible 3 days, bringing together lighting, audio, rigging, video and cabling brands under one roof. Across three action-packed days, our visitors had the chance to explore the latest innovations, meet industry specialists, and get hands-on with cutting-edge technology.

A hub of innovation - and leading brands to explore

Once again our technology “village” was a focal point for our brand partners, our team of tech-experts, and a hub for networking and socialising. The best business is always mixed with pleasure and the chance to share real-world stories, challenges and creative triumphs.

From world-exclusive product launches to interactive demonstrations, visitors were able to see first-hand how our brand partners, including Chroma-Q, PROLIGHTS, Luminex, Litec S Series, Manfrotto, PIXELHUE, CM-ET, Green Hippo, LumenRadio, Avolites, NEXO, Yamaha and more, are shaping the future of live production.

Networking, knowledge, and a bit of ‘mad fer it’ fun

PLASA is more than a showcase – it’s a chance to connect with fellow professionals. Our lunchtime 12-2 PIXELHUE sessions were a hit, offering branded PIXELHUE beers, networking, and the chance to win an iPad.

Congratulations to Sue Davies from Subfrantic who won the iPad - and a big thanks to PIXELHUE for their generosity around this prize, and the sponsorship of our lunch-time beer session.

And in true AC-ET style, our limited-edition bucket hats celebrating the blockbuster OASIS tour proved to be a crowd favourite.

World exclusive reveal - Litec S truss system

PLASA is the perfect platform for product launches and innovation drops, so we were more than just a bit excited to start Sunday’s opening day with the world exclusive reveal of the Litec S truss system - developed in partnership with Area4 Industries.

Litec S was created in response to the need for a new, versatile truss system that would meet the changing needs of the production, broadcast and events industries.

Highlighting our growing brand portfolio and product offering

This year, we were excited to spotlight new and expanding partnerships:

Panasonic – Latest innovations in AV and broadcasting technology.
Advatek – High-performance LED drivers, now part of the AC-ET family with full technical support.
Mossled – North America’s market leader in LED tape for film, TV, and theatre, joining our lighting products lineup.

Tourflex Cabling – making connections at our Cable Emporium

Cabling is the bedrock behind all the products and technology that make every event, broadcast and production happen without risk of failure. We’re advocates of high quality cables and connectors as core investments in the wider portfolio of technology that you bring to each of your productions.

This year our Tourflex cabling brand marked the not too insignificant milestone of 10 million metres of cabling, designed, specified and delivered to our customers. Plus, as one of the few Neutrik accredited dealers, we were able to showcase a range of their market leading brands in the year which marks their 50th anniversary.

Leading technology brands - indispensable expertise

With decades of experience, AC-ET continues to set the benchmark for technical excellence. From custom cabling and lighting to audio, rigging, and video solutions, our team ensures that entertainment professionals have the right tools and support to take every production to the next level.

PLASA was a celebration of innovation, collaboration, and the vibrant community of entertainment technology professionals. Thank you to everyone who visited our stand, connected with our experts, and explored the future of live production with us.

PLASA 2025 was another fantastic show and a great opportunity to showcase all the technology that gets us excited about what we can deliver for our clients. Both production teams and audiences are demanding ever higher levels of creativity and excellence, as well as value for money, so it’s been great to work with our brand partners on demonstrating the products and innovations that will shape the way we all experience entertainment. We’re looking forward to 2026 already.
