Forum - Main Forums : Live Sound & Performance

I am currently finishing a degree in BSC(Hons)Live Event Technology at University of Glamorgan.
For our final year projects we have been developing products for the live event industry; these are a mixture of Lighting, Audio/AV & Rigging/Engineering based products.

I would like to extend an open invite to SOS Forum members for our Graduand Showcase Event at Wales Millennium Centre on 29th/30th March. We will be showcasing our products including working prototypes as well as various other stalls/demonstrations. This represents a great opportunity to network with students and other attending industry professionals; details below.

If you are interested in attending this event please PM me or email bengummery(at)btinternet.com and I will keep you up-to-date. Please also pass this invitation to any other interested parties if you wish.

In addition if there are any businesses/individuals that would be interested in supporting and/or exhibiting at the event in some form I would love to hear from you so this can be discussed further.
