Launch of London Entertainment Week

Already recognised globally as a major showcase for products, services and prestigious seminar programs, the show now offers industry support for new developments in Pro AV and Live Entertainment Technology. The expansion follows the merging of technologies between live events and broadcast sectors alongside organic expansion into the market over the past few years.

London Entertainment Week provides an opportunity for partners to present events for the entire creative sector from the well-established and reputable trade show platform of BVE. Delivering additional visitors from the AV and Live Entertainment space, London Entertainment Week will feature additional co-located activity from partners including TPi, Streaming Media, Raindance, VFX Festival and the IABM.

Positioning BVE as a key player within the industry from the start of the week, London Entertainment Week will celebrate talented individuals and companies in the live production sector through hosting and sponsoring the annual TPi Awards launch event on Monday 22nd February at Battersea Evolution. With three days of dedicated seminar content for the AV sector, London Entertainment Week will also feature a host of branded forums including theatre-specific content assisted by ABTT and the Streaming Forum 2016 Conference and sponsors pavilion. Furthering the expansion into the Pro AV sector, AV Magazine is the official media partner for the AV theatre, advertising and access to speakers, and the AV Users Group will host the first ever AV Users Forum members meeting at the event.

In addition to the series of co-located events across London, London Entertainment Week includes an 850sqm ‘Pro AV and Live Entertainment Technology zone’ on the show floor, providing space to cover all aspects of event production; kit for theatre and performing arts, concerts and touring, festivals, outdoor events, corporate events, conferences, houses of worship, educational establishments, leisure facilities and corporate installations. Acting as a natural bridge to the live event sector, an Outside Broadcast Zone will also bring a significant offering to the show. London & Partners will also be promoting London Entertainment Week through involvement with the Mayor’s office. As the official promotional company for the City, London & Partners will also promote London Entertainment Week and BVE, meaning additional coverage and exposure.
