Change of Venue for Inaugural PALA India Exhbition
The NSE Exhibition Complex (formerly the Bombay Exhibition Centre) in Mumbai has been announced as the venue for the first PALA / Install India exhibition, in a switch from the originally announced Andheri Sports Complex. This move has been prompted by a greater than anticipated interest by international and regional exhibitors, and a consequent increase in the projected number of expected visitors.
IIR, the world’s leading exhibition organiser in professional audio and lighting trade fairs, is set to add another new event to their already burgeoning portfolio. PALA India will be held from 5 – 7 October 2006 in Mumbai; the event is based on the successful model of the PALME exhibition in Dubai aimed specifically at the events, entertainment and installation technology sectors.
The show will also see the introduction of the hugely popular Install brand into the Indian market – a dedicated vertical show aimed specifically at the commercial and residential installation and integration markets. The three day show will see the two exhibitions running concurrently, and will represent the country’s first international event for the professional sound, light, audio-visual, music, broadcast, and project installation industries.
With bookings already confirmed from key international exhibitors, including Lighthouse Technologies, DAS Audio, Martin Audio, Soundtube Entertainment, and Vantage Point, as well as major national companies such as R & S Electronics, Sun Infonet Pvt Ltd, and Setron, it has become apparent that the original intended venue was unlikely to provide an adequate site for the first Indian event, and that the NSE Exhibition Complex was more suitably appointed.
Situated just 15 minutes drive from both the International and Domestic airports, the NSE is the one of the largest and most modern permanent exhibition venues in India’s ‘city of business’. It is within easy reach of over 20 hotels, including several five star properties.
Commenting for IIR Exhibitions Entertainment & Installation Technology Group, group exhibitions director Darren Brechin states: “The NSE offers international class exhibition facilities in an ideal location, with superior transport links and sufficient local hotel capacity. This new venue will enable us to deliver a first-class event in line with the other events in the group’s portfolio which includes annual exhibitions - PALME in Dubai, PALA Asia and the PALM Expo held in China.”
With India recognised as one of the next major growth markets in Asia for the full spectrum of entertainment technology products and services, IIR Exhibitions recognise the growing requirement for a professional exhibition, serving the varied market sectors within the industry.
With the massive boom in world class commercial, residential, and tourist developments in India, demand for entertainment and AV installation products and services continues to grow exponentially.
PALA India & Install India presents the opportunity for manufacturers and suppliers to showcase their products and services and make face-to-face contact with major decision makers and potential customers across all of these markets.
