ries, an LED wall manufactured by Total Solution’s own brand Chromalux, running with coolux Pandoras Box software, wireless lighting control from Lumen Radio, and a range of lighting fixtures from Robert Juliat, StudioDue and Kupo. Lighting & Sound Distribution displayed the new Robe Robin 600 Series, which comprises three model: daylight, warm white, and smart white. The company also showcased products from its other brands including Antari, LSC Lighting, SFAT, High End Systems, and TW Audio. Besides the many points of interest provided by exhibitors, there was plenty on of- fer for visitors from organisers IIR too, including: an array of seminars, prize draws, and a communal happy hour, all whilst they were browsing around the show floor. Although visitor figures were up on the 2009 show, when walking around the aisles, particularly in the mornings, it did seem fairly quiet. The response from ex- hibitors was mixed. Some seemed disappointed with the numbers, while some said it was exactly as expected. Some companies said they’d met new customers, while others were more catching up with existing clientele; it really depended on which company I was talking to. From this perspective, it does make it a little difficult to
identify a general trend of the show. I definitely think the Palme Asia will benefit from being a biannual show, as with so many other shows in and around Asia, a relatively small market cannot support a yearly show. We see this happening in other countries, yet many exhibition organis- ers choose to ignore the signs or do anything about it. Although on the surface it appears IIR have made a sensible decision in making Palme Asia a biannual show, it is also set to launch another show in Singapore next year. Technologies for Worship Asia 2012 will cater purely for the worship market. So, essentially there will be a show in Singapore every 12 months. They are aimed at slightly different markets, but there is definitely a crossover, only time will tell if both shows can survive side by side. Some exhibitors were also asked to fill in a questionnaire about Turkey, suggesting this could be a potential new market the organisers are looking to explore, although I suspect it is very early days. Watch this space. Technologies for Worship Asia 2012 is scheduled to take place in July next year, while dates for Palme Asia 2013 have yet to be announced.
