eye surgery, here was your chance to try it out! Most of the distributors had Chinese OEM products on display, but there were a few Indian lighting manufacturers, too; if memory serves me, this was the first time I’d seen this. Hall 2 was billed separately as the AV-ICN show and had a mix of LED screen and projector distributors. This hall and branding was a nod to the more AV integration market and consisted of projection mapping displays and collaborative space features. Obviously this space was quieter by design, but also in attendees, even though it was situated between the other two halls. The show also featured demos with HARMAN India taking a huge demo space between halls and also Coda and Pequod utilising outside demo stages. Organisers Hyve were also running a conference covering studio sound, live sound, lighting and AV topics. A lighting design showcase was presented on the show floor by SSL Media Technology Solutions. And on the second night, Hyve presented their annual PALM Sound and Light Awards. Overall, the show was bustling and exhibitor feedback was pretty positive on the quality of attendees, and showed the Indian market to be fairly robust in the install and live events market.

I’d question the AV-ICN part of the show and feel it’s been added to counter InfoComm India – something I don’t think they need to worry about as PALM has its niche in the entertainment technology side and should look to grow that. As ever, trade shows trying to corner every sector sometimes lose focus and end up disappointing exhibitors and confusing attendees.
