SAN DIEGO, CA, July 01, 2011
Retail Digital, the leading business news source for C-level executives in the retail industry, offers exclusive profiles on the associations and organizations leading the growth and development of its competitive industry. Recently, the news source highlighted the Professional Light and Sound Association - a group comprised of members of the entertainment industry involved in theatre, concerts, special events, film, TV and broadcast.In 1987, a group of twenty-five companies came together to address common issues, create best practices and enhance buying power for their rent and sale of entertainment equipment. The association expanded its reach in the mid-90s to include companies and individuals involved in every aspect of the industry. Now in 2011, the members of PLASA make up the leading international body of those who supply technologies and services to the event, entertainment and installation industries.
One of the main initiatives of the Professional Light and Sound Association is to ensure the safety of audiences, performers and crew members at events and concerts. As technology advances, rigs add weight and additional equipment, the danger increases. To address these trends, the PLASA brought together a group of industry stakeholders including labor, employers and venues to create the Entertainment Technician Certification Program (ETCP). The program developed a rigorous certification process for entertainment riggers and electricians, now required for lead personnel at venues around North America.
